Steps:
- For the crust: Sprinkle the yeast over 3/4 cup warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl.

- Remove from the oven and immediately drape the prosciutto slices over the hot pizza. Sprinkle generously with the arugula and Parmesan shavings. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately!
CARAMELIZED ONION & FIG PIZZA
This is a sensational variation on traditional pizza. It's creamy, sweet and a little salty, with a buttery crunch from the pine nuts. I like to serve it with mixed baby greens salad and a vinaigrette. -Connie Balbach, Bemidji, Minnesota

Tips:
- Use a high-quality, flavorful fig jam or spread. This will make a big difference in the overall taste of the pizza.
- Choose a soft, creamy brie cheese. Avoid hard or crumbly cheeses, as they will not melt as well.
- Fresh basil is essential for this pizza. Do not use dried basil, as it will not provide the same flavor.
- If you are using a store-bought pizza crust, be sure to pre-bake it before adding the toppings. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature to get a crispy crust and melted cheese.
