Prepare the Balsamic Reduction:
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the mixture is reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Assemble the Pizza:
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly.
Spread the ricotta cheese over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the fig halves and crumbled bacon over the ricotta cheese.
Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Bake the Pizza:
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the ricotta is slightly bubbly.
Add Balsamic Reduction:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the pizza.
