Ingredients
- 1 piece (12-inch round) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Pear, thinly sliced
- 0.33 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 3
Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges for the crust.
Step 4
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, followed by the crumbled gorgonzola cheese.
Step 5
Arrange the thinly sliced pear evenly on top of the cheeses, ensuring they don’t overlap too much.
Step 6
Scatter the chopped walnuts over the pears, pressing them gently into the cheese so they stick.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes.
Step 9
Top the pizza with a handful of fresh arugula leaves, then drizzle with balsamic glaze and honey for a touch of sweetness.
Step 10
Sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 11
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
