Yield 22 to 24 Pizzettes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound store-bought pizza dough
Olive oil, for brushing dough
1 cup ricotta cheese
4 ounces prosciutto, cut into small pieces
6 ripe figs, quartered (or 1/2 cup fig jam)

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Roll out pizza dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Using a pastry brush, lightly oil the dough, and, using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, stamp out 22 to 24 rounds.

Bake until cheese is melted and underside is brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
