Instructions
Dissolve honey and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl; let stand 10 minutes.
Add remaining 3/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons oil; stir until blended. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Add 2 3/4 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to yeast mixture; stir until blended. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.)
Place dough in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Pat dough to fit pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes. Uncover dough. Make indentations in top of dough using the handle of a wooden spoon or fingertips. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Uncover dough. Spoon small dollops of cheese over dough. Gently spread cheese over dough.
Sprinkle fig quarters evenly over cheese.
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil over dough.
Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bake at 400 for 23 minutes or until browned on bottom and sounds hollow when tapped.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
