Fig Jam And Prosciutto Flatbread Food

FIG-AND-PROSCIUTTO FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone in the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 500ºF. (The pizza stone is ideal but not necessary - just make sure the oven is hot enough to cook the pizza's).
• Allow at least 45 minutes for the pizza stone to heat thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the pizza dough to a 13-inch round.
• Dust a pizza peel with flour and slide the dough onto it.
• Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the garlic and rosemary.
• Season with salt and pepper & pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
• Dollop 1/4 cup of the fig jam (it is difficuclt to spread) all over the crust, being sure to leave a 1-inch border of dough all around.
• Scatter half of the cheese and prosciutto over the dough.
• Slide the flatbread onto the stone and bake for about 15 minutes, until puffed and golden.
• Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second flatbread.
• Garnish with the sliced scallion and serve.

FIG AND PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the flatbread crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine the hot pepper jelly with the balsamic vinegar. Spread the jelly mixture over the flatbread, leaving a border of crust exposed. Bake until the jelly begins to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Top the flatbread with the figs. Tear the prosciutto into ribbons and place around the figs. Sprinkle with the baby arugula. Drizzle the olive oil over the flatbread and sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Slice into triangular pieces and serve immediately.

FIG-PROSCIUTTO PIZZA WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• For the crust: Sprinkle the yeast over 3/4 cup warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour and salt and, with the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil. Keep going until it's mixed through. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, tip the dough in and form it into a ball. Toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for at least an hour, or up to 3 or 4 days.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position.
• For the topping: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface as thinly as possible Dough should be roughly 17 by 10 inches. Place on a large baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Spread the fig spread all over the surface of the dough. Lay the slices of mozzarella all over the surface of the pizza crust. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
• 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!

GRILLED FRESH MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO, AND FIG JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto.
• Spread the top slices with the fig jam, then close up to form sandwiches.
• Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
• Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or panini press over med-high heat.
• Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.
• Press the sandwiches or close the grill and brown, turning once or twice, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted; **you can press the sandwiches by weighting them with something heavy-such as a skillet or wide-bottomed saucepan.
• Though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.
• Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
