This bianco pizza is the first pizza I’ve ever made using fruit. And I have to say that it turned out pretty well. The cheddar and fig jam compliment each other well so the pizza isn’t too sweet.
I’d probably slice the nectarines thinner than I did this time around. You can also add the nectarines and prosciutto after the pizza bakes, but I like the crunch the prosciutto has from being baked in the oven. It’s almost like bacon at that point. So good.
My next pizza attempt will be coming shortly! It’s such a time – saver to use a pre – made dough. Especially during the week. This recipe should only take 20 minutes max to make.

- Spread ricotta cheese over the pizza evenly & sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the ricotta
- Bake dough in oven for 4 – 5 minutes
- While dough is baking, slice the nectarine and heat in a skillet with some olive oil, salt and pepper until the outside is golden brown
- Remove dough from the oven and add about 3 Tbs. of fig jam, the prosciutto, and nectarine slices. Sprinkle some thyme leaves on the top
