Yup, he described this pizza equally figtitious, figilicious, in addition to figtastic. That's pretty high praise ... I think. But let's plough to Mark's definitions to brand sure.
Figtitious - So adept it can't hold out real. (Like 'fictitious' ... larn it?)
Figilicious - Figs that are super delicious.
Figtastic - Fantastic figs.
I'd tell yes, that's high praise. Wouldn't you?
And manifestly Mark is inwards a creative mood ... 'cause he merely said the championship of this postal service needed to hold out 'Gettin' Figgy With It.' Okay. I'm adept amongst going amongst his creative juices tonight.
To larn started on this figtitious, figilicious, figtastic fig pizza, get together upwardly around gorgeous fresh figs in addition to while them inwards half.
Then while a reddish onion into rings, flavour the rings amongst tabular array salt in addition to pepper, ...
... in addition to saute them upwardly inwards a picayune olive oil.
Then get together upwardly around fresh rosemary.
Top pizza dough amongst a uncomplicated drizzling of olive oil, in addition to hence accommodate the onions in addition to figs on top, in addition to sprinkle amongst a chip of fresh rosemary.
Finally, exceed amongst around picayune chunks of cheese. Mark in addition to I decided to examination 2 types of cheese - fresh mozzarella in addition to caprine animal cheese. So, one-half our pizza was topped amongst crumbles of caprine animal cheese, in addition to one-half had fresh mozzarella chunks.

Bake it up, serve yourself a large ol' piece, in addition to bask the beautiful figliciousness.
