Pour water into a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Mix in oil, salt, and flour to make a dough. When the dough is too stiff to stir, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Place it in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel. Set aside to rise for about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook and stir until they are wilted and soft. Reduce the heat to low and season with salt. Continue to cook and stir until the onions are dark brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, fennel seed, and figs, then remove from the heat.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Punch down the pizza dough and stretch it into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Place it on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Lightly brush the surface with the remaining olive oil. Spread the onion and fig mixture over the crust. It will be sparse, but there is plenty of flavor. Dot with pieces of goat cheese.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust has turned golden brown at the edges.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
