To prepare pizza, preheat oven to 550°F. Blend together olive oil and roasted garlic cloves to form a spread. Grease a 12-inch Detroit style pizza pan generously with olive oil. Spread dough evenly into pan. Spread roasted garlic mixture over dough. Top evenly with Brie and both Mozzarella cheeses. Bake until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with fig jam, arugula, fig slices and strips of prosciutto. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
