Ingredients
Equipment
- Pizza stone or heavy baking sheet

Method
Cook the onions in the olive oil with a pinch of salt over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and golden.
Heat the oven as hot as it goes with a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside.
Stretch each dough ball thin. Top with mozzarella, onions, gorgonzola and fig slices.
Bake one at a time for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is blistered. Top with rocket and black pepper straight out of the oven.
Notes
- A spoon of fig jam thinned with water and drizzled over the finished pizza adds a second layer of fig.
Storage
Best fresh. Leftovers reheat in a hot pan.
Made with
Dark fig jam
Purple-skinned figs cooked with their skins for a deep, berry-rich jam the colour of the fruit itself.
