Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl whisk together 4 tablespoons of the oil, the thyme, and garlic. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine 2-1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add the water and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a ball forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes or until the dough is soft, pliable, and smooth, adding as much of the remaining flour as needed. Divide dough evenly into four balls.
Roll each ball to a circle 8 to 9 inches in diameter. Brush both sides of each dough round with the oil mixture.
For a charcoal or gas grill, grill dough rounds on the greased rack of a covered grill directly over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until bottoms are browned and crisp. Turn dough rounds over; spread with fig jam and sprinkle with cheese. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes more or until bottoms are browned and crisp. Remove from heat.
Top with arugula and prosciutto. Sprinkle with pepper. Fold in half to serve.

Grill Pan Method:

Heat a greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook one or two dough rounds (depending on the size of your grill pan) on the hot grill pan for 2 to 3 minutes or until bottoms are browned and crisp. Turn rounds over; spread with fig jam and sprinkle with cheese. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until bottoms are browned and crisp. Remove from heat. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds. Serve as above.
