Ingredients

  • 21 g yeast (0.5 cube)
  • 0.5 tsp honey
  • 400 g spelt whole‑grain flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • 8 figs
  • 200 g hard cheese such as Pecorino
  • 1 handful Arugula

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Crumble the yeast into a bowl, stir in honey and 190 ml lukewarm water until smooth. Add the flour, olive oil and 1 tsp salt, then knead into a supple dough. Adjust flour or water as needed. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.

  2. 2.

    Wash the figs and cut them into strips. Grate the cheese.

  3. 3.

    On a floured surface, knead the dough again, divide it into four portions and roll each into a thin oval. Place on parchment paper, sprinkle with grated cheese, top with fig strips, then carefully transfer to a hot baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 240 °C (220 °C fan or gas high setting) for 10–15 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4.

    Meanwhile wash and dry the arugula. Remove the pizzas from the oven, scatter arugula over them, and serve immediately.
