Spring Fig
Ham Microwave Pizza

Recreate Lucky Caesar's spring limited edition Fig and Ham Pizza at home using a clever steamed bun dough base and quick microwave cooking.

Ingredients

• 1 whole steamed bun
• 1 large egg
• 3 tbsp tomato sauce
• 2 tbsp red bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 4 slices ham
• 2 whole fresh figs
• 1 tbsp pistachios

Instructions

1. 1Wash the steamed bun

   

   Take a steamed bun and wash it thoroughly under running water to prepare it as the base ingredient for the pizza dough.

   Tip: Ensure the bun is thoroughly dampened so it breaks down easily.
2. 2Crush the steamed bun

   

   Place the wet steamed bun into a mixing bowl and use your hands to crush it thoroughly into fine crumbs.

   Tip: Ensuring the bun is well-moistened makes it easier to break down evenly.
3. 3Add an egg

   

   Crack a fresh raw egg directly into the bowl containing the crushed steamed bun crumbs.

   Tip: The egg acts as a binder to help form the dough consistency.
4. 4Knead into a dough

   

   Combine the bun crumbs and egg thoroughly, kneading the mixture until it comes together into a unified dough.

   Tip: Knead until no dry crumbs remain and the texture is uniform.
5. 5Shape the Dough Base

   

   Flatten the kneaded bun and egg dough into a neat round pizza base on parchment paper, shaping a slightly raised edge to form the crust.

   Tip: Keep the thickness even across the base so it cooks uniformly.
6. 6Add Tomato Sauce

   

   Spoon tomato sauce onto the center of the prepared dough base and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly across the surface, leaving a small border.

   Tip: Leave a small border around the edge uncovered to form a nice crust.
7. 7Add Bell Peppers and Cheese

   

   Scatter the diced red bell peppers evenly over the tomato sauce, then sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese across the pizza base.

   Tip: Ensure the tomato sauce covers the base evenly to give the pizza a rich flavor.
8. 8First Bake and Arrange Ham

   

   Microwave the prepared pizza base on high for 8 minutes, carefully remove it, and arrange the sliced ham pieces evenly across the melted cheese.

   Tip: Distribute the ham evenly so every slice of pizza gets a good portion.
9. 9Add Pistachios and Fresh Figs

   

   Scatter crushed pistachios over the ham layer, then carefully place fresh fig slices and wedges symmetrically across the pizza.

   Tip: Fresh figs add a wonderful juicy sweetness that balances the savory ham.
10. 10Final Cheese Layer and Second Bake

    

    Sprinkle a final layer of shredded cheese over the figs, pistachios, and ham, then microwave on high for another three minutes to melt.

    Tip: The final three-minute microwave session melts the top cheese layer and binds all the toppings together.
