Fig, Brie & Chilli Honey PIzza - Georgie Eats

FIG, BRIE & CHILLI HONEY PIZZA

A perfect nibble for aperitivo time, or a special autumnal dinner. Pair with a crisp glass of Gewürztraminer from Alsace, or an Italian Negroamaro for a rather lovely Friday evening.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings, as a snack

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 1/2 red chilli finely sliced
  • 150 g ricotta
  • 4 sprigs thyme leaves picked
  • 2 balls of pizza dough (see notes)
  • 150 g brie thinly sliced
  • 5 figs quartered
  • 75 g red onion marmalade
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • to serve: wild rocket

Instructions

  1. Preheat your pizza oven, or regular oven, to its highest setting.

  2. Start with making the chilli honey. Combine the honey and red chilli in a small bowl and mix well. Let it sit and infuse whilst we continue with the recipe.

  3. Next, combine the ricotta, thyme and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and spreadable, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

  4. Stretch out each ball of pizza dough on a floured surface, using your fingers to spread it into a disc, then picking it up and allowing gravity to pull it downwards into a circle. It should be thin enough to see through when holding it up to the light.

  5. Spread the ricotta between the pizza bases, then top with the brie, figs and onion jam, dotting them evenly over the base. Slide each pizza into the pizza oven and cook for 1-2 minutes, turning them every 20 seconds or so, until puffed and bubbling. If using a regular oven, they will need 10-15 minutes.

  6. Drizzle the chilli honey over the pizzas and finish with a handful of rocket and a good crack of black pepper. Chop into slices and you’ll be ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

If you want to make your own pizza dough, I use this recipe. I'll split the batch into three, use two of the balls for this recipe and freeze the third for another time. Other options are using a pre-made pizza dough - there is a really good one you can get in most supermarkets called Northern Dough Co. You could also buy pre-made bases, or use flatbreads instead; these won't need as long in the oven, so just keep an eye on them.
