Evenly dollop or spread goat cheese or ricotta over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.

Arrange sliced fresh figs and thin prosciutto slices evenly over the cheese to balance sweet and savory flavors.
05 -
Scatter chopped fresh rosemary or thyme across the pizza and add cracked black pepper for an aromatic touch.

Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Remove from oven and drizzle generously with honey to amplify the sweet and savory contrast.
