Fig Balsamic Walnut Flatbread

With sweet figs, tangy balsamic and rich goat cheese, this is one of my favorite flatbread recipes. It's also delicious with arugula and caramelized onions. I reach for it often when I host a special event or have friends over for dinner. You can use any store-bought flatbread or pizza dough. —Rebekah Ranes, Sedona, Arizona
