1 ball of whole-wheat pizza dough
1/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
3 fresh figs, sliced
Fresh thyme, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon honey
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. Alternatively, lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to the preheated pizza stone or the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the Ricotta and Figs: Spread the fresh ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the sliced figs on top of the ricotta.
- Season and Drizzle: Sprinkle the chopped thyme over the pizza. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the ricotta is slightly bubbly.
- Finish with Honey: Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle the honey over the figs and ricotta for a touch of sweetness. Slice and serve immediately.
