- Roll out the dough to the size(s) that you desire
- Mix the minced garlic with the olive oil.
- Spread generously on the pizza dough (blend more garlic and olive oil if you need more for larger or multiple pizzas).
- Next generously spread on the pizza sauce.
- Layer on the prosciutto strips.
- Scatter sliced figs on top.
- Grill on a medium-hot grill until cheese is ooey, gooey melted all over!
- Keep a close eye on the grill because the dough may burn.
- If you have a pizza stone, have it pre-heated on the grill and USE IT to prevent the dough from burning.
- If you see that the dough is burning and the cheese is not quite as melted as much as you prefer, then just finish it off for 5 minutes in a very hot oven.
- Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to drizzle on the pizza.
