Ingredients

  • 3 8 oz

    portions of homemade or store-bought pizza dough

  • 6 slices

    of prosciutto (divided)

  • 4

    fresh figs, cut into small wedges

  • 8 oz

    burrata cheese, divided into 3 portions

Instructions

TOTAL TIME

15 minutes

3 pizzette servings

STEP 1: Preheat the Oven and Pizza Stone

If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven and preheat your oven to its maximum temperature (usually around 500°F or 260°C). Allow the pizza stone to heat for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. This ensures a crispy crust.

A person stands near an outdoor pizza oven with a fire inside. A wooden table holds bruschetta, a glass of red wine, a basil plant, and a Gratis Red wine box. String lights and a stool are in the background.

STEP 2: Stretch the Dough

Take each portion of dough (8 oz each) and stretch it into a roughly 6-inch circle for each pizzetta. Make sure the dough is evenly spread.

STEP 3: Oil the Base

Drizzle olive oil on the bottom side of each stretched dough circle to ensure a crispy crust when baked.

STEP 4: Add the Toppings

Lay half of the prosciutto slices(3 total) on top of the dough. Scatter fresh fig wedges evenly across the top of each pizzetta. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top to add flavor and moisture.

A person’s hands arrange sliced figs and prosciutto on a round piece of uncooked pizza dough with dollops of cheese, on a floured wooden surface. Another prepared dough and a plate are nearby.

STEP 5: Bake

If you're using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizzettes on to the preheated stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is fully cooked.

STEP 6: Finishing Touches

Remove the pizzettes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Add the remaining fresh prosciuttoslices on top. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and gently place it on top of the pizzettes. Drizzle balsamic glaze generouslyover the pizzettes for a tangy finish. These elegant pizzettes deserve equally elegant company — try the crispy Phyllo Triangles for another bite-sized appetizer, go savory with a tender Pork Tenderloin as a main, or end on a sweet note with Quince Sweet. Pour a glass of Gratsi Sparkling Wine to make it a celebration.

Enjoy ! Serve your pizzettes immediately, paired with your favourite Gratsi Wine. Cheers!
