Gourmet Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza

Ingredients

Pizza dough

1 pound (store-bought or homemade)

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Fresh pears

2 medium, ripe but firm, thinly sliced

Mozzarella cheese

1 cup, shredded

Gorgonzola cheese

1/2 cup, crumbled

Fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons, chopped

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well for an extra crispy crust.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch thick for a crispy crust.
3. Brush the rolled-out dough generously with olive oil, ensuring even coverage to help achieve a golden, flavorful crust.
4. Arrange the thinly sliced pear pieces evenly over the oil-brushed dough, creating a beautiful pattern that enhances the visual appeal.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pears, followed by the crumbled gorgonzola cheese for that rich, tangy flavor.
6. Add the chopped rosemary, and season with salt and black pepper to taste to enhance the overall flavor profile.
7. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
8. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and savory!
