Ingredients

  • 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.

This Pizza with Fresh Figs, Ricotta, Thyme, and Honey is a delightful mix of flavors, combining the creamy texture of ricotta with the natural sweetness of figs and a drizzle of honey. The addition of thyme brings an earthy freshness to every bite. Enjoy this elegant pizza for a unique and satisfying meal that’s sure to impress!
