Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
3
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Brush the dough with olive oil, then evenly distribute the sliced mozzarella over the top.
6
Arrange the freshly sliced figs on top of the mozzarella and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
7
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the crust is crisp.
8
Remove the pizza from the oven, then arrange the prosciutto slices and fresh arugula on top.
9
Drizzle with a little honey and balsamic glaze, then slice and serve immediately.
