Thank you Half-Baked Harvest for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 

  • 6 shallots (halved and quartered)

  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs

  • Kosher salt and pepper

  • Chili flakes

  • ½ lb. pizza dough (room temperature)

  • 1-2 Tbsp fig preserves

  • 1 tomato (grated)

  • 1 garlic clove (grated)

  • 3 oz. crumbled goat cheese 

  • 4 slices cooked bacon

  • ⅓ cup fresh basil leaves

  • 1 + ⅓ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

  2. In a skillet, combine the olive oil, shallots, and thyme. Cook over medium heat until the oil is hot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-20 minutes until the shallots are soft and caramelized. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the chili flakes and remove the skillet from the heat. 

  3. On a lightly floured surface, push the dough out until it’s thin. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and mix the grated tomato with garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the fig preserves and tomatoes over the dough. Add the goat cheese, bacon, and basil. Top with mozzarella and pull the shallots apart to arrange them over the cheese. 

  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Remove the pizza from the heat and top with fresh basil.
