Preparation Steps
1
Measure out the ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, and water. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it rest for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add the olive oil and the proofed yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness.

Slice the figs into thin rounds. Tear the mozzarella into smaller pieces.

Brush the pizza dough with a little olive oil, then spread the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over it.

Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
