Prosciutto Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza

Yikes I have been on the go for the past two weeks, I feel like I haven’t been home to just veg out for ages!  Not that I don’t love going out to dinner with new and old friends, visiting the Magic Castle and hitting up some great concerts- but sometimes a girl just wants to be home with a bottle of beer and sit in front of the TV. 

For those types of nights, this would be perfect!!  You know I love the prosciutto fig combo from these lovely bites of goodness.  And in order to get your last bits of figs in and in honor of the wedding that I am going to this weekend on a Goat Cheese Dairy farm I bring you this easy pizza. 

Congrats to my friends Charlotte and Brock that are getting married and here’s to a weekend full on moonshine, goat cheese and some Southern BBQ!!!  Hoping to fit in a visit to Cracker Barrel and try some other regional goodies.   

Prosciutto Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza

1 pkg pizza dough
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup goat cheese
1/2 onion, caramelized
2 oz. prosciutto, tear into large pieces
6 fresh figs, cut in half
red chili flakes
olive oil

1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Roll out pizza dough to a 12 inch circle and lightly sprinkle the top with olive oil. 

2.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, prosciutto pieces, figs, caramelized onions and goat cheese evenly on the crust. 

3.  Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. 

Pizza Roll

The last tailgate we had was for a noon time game.  Those games are hard since that means that we need to get to campus around 8:30am and it’s a challenge to think of what to bring as well since its not really worth it to lug the grill to the game.  My friend Jenni was going to bring breakfast treats, so I decided to make Pizza Rolls as a quick and easy hand held savory treat. 

I had seen these before on the web and some other blogs before here is my own spin on it.

Pizza Rolls

1 pre-made pizza dough, separated into two parts
Pizza Sauce
2 cup mozzarella cheese
5 oz. Pepperoni
Italian Seasoning
garlic powder

1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll out the pizza dough to the size of a sheet of paper.  Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough.  *If you do too much the sauce will make a mess when you roll and cut it, trust me I know.*  

2.  On each dough half, give a couple of shakes of the garlic powder and the Italian seasoning on each sheet of dough.  Lay out pepperoni over the pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheese.  Roll the dough (from the short side) like a cinnamon roll and slice into 1 inch pieces.   

3.  Place onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly brown or the cheese starts to bubble. 

When it comes to food, it seems boys at football tailgates are easy to impress.  We threw these on the grill to heat them up and let the cheese melt a little more.  The boys all wanted to know how I made these, and for some reason the answer, “I made a pizza and rolled it like a cinnamon roll” blew their minds.  Haha we’ll blame that on the beers that went so well with these yummy bites!
