Ingredients

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh figs, sliced
  • 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Мethod of preparation

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling. Drizzle the olive oil over the dough, then spread a thin layer of marinara sauce, leaving a border for the crust. Evenly distribute the crumbled sausage across the dough. Arrange the fig slices over the sausage, ensuring each piece gets a few slices. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the top, infusing the pizza with its herbaceous aroma. Add the gorgonzola cheese, scattering it generously but sparingly to ensure it melts into creamy pockets. Carefully transfer the pizza along with the parchment onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, and serve your Savory Fig & Rosemary Sausage Pizza immediately.
