Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle large rimless baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Roll out dough on floured work surface to 12x10-inch rectangle; transfer to prepared sheet. Sprinkle Gorgonzola over dough. Sprinkle with pepper. Place figs in medium bowl; drizzle 1 tablespoon vinegar over. Set aside.
- Bake pizza until crust is golden brown on bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately drape prosciutto slices over, covering pizza completely. Arrange fig slices atop prosciutto. Bake until figs are just heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer pizza to cutting board. Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and oil in large bowl; add arugula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Mound salad atop pizza. Cut into pieces and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh figs for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs that have been soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.
- To make the glaze ahead of time, simply combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To use the glaze, simply brush it on your favorite pizza or grilled meats and vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
Conclusion:
Balsamic fig glaze is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, making it a great option for busy weeknights. So next time you're looking for a new way to add some flavor to your food, give balsamic fig glaze a try.
