Carly’s Expert Tips
- Parbake the crust. It keeps the center from getting soggy.
- Add prosciutto after. It stays silky instead of crispy.
- Thin the jam. Warm it slightly for easier spreading.
- Check your dough. Baking times vary by brand.
Make It Your Own
- Arugula: Top with peppery arugula.
- Hot honey: Drizzle for a sweet heat.
- Goat cheese: Swap for stracciatella.
- Burrata: Tear a whole burrata on top.
Make-Ahead and Meal Prep: Slice the onion and bring the dough to room temperature an hour ahead so it stretches easily.
