1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (toasted)

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Olive oil for drizzling

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh arugula for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it gets nice and hot for the pizza.

    Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza stone.

      Spread the Fig Jam: Evenly spread the fig jam over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

        Add the Cheeses: Dollop the ricotta cheese over the fig jam and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top. Add crumbled goat cheese for a tangy flavor.

          Enhance the Flavor: Scatter the toasted walnuts and sprinkle fresh rosemary over the cheese mixture. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

            Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are bubbly.

              Finishing Touches: Once out of the oven, drizzle with honey for added sweetness and freshness. Optionally, top with a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery bite.

                Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pizza, serve it warm, and watch everyone indulge in this sweet and savory treat!
