Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 2 ripe pears thinly sliced
  • 4 –6 slices of prosciutto
  • 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh arugula optional
  • Olive oil

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to the highest setting (around 500°F or 260°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. I love a thin, crispy crust, but you can go for a thicker base too! Use a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal for easy handling.
  3. Drizzle olive oil across the surface of the rolled-out dough. Using a brush or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly.
  4. Now comes the fun part! Arrange the thinly sliced pears on the dough. Drape the prosciutto slices artfully over the pears. Sprinkle the pizza with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts for some texture.
  5. Carefully transfer your pizza onto the stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbly, and the prosciutto is slightly crisp around the edges.
  6. Once out of the oven, drizzle the pizza with honey for that magical sweet touch. Add fresh arugula on top if you want a peppery contrast and a vibrant pop of green.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Ripe pears and high-quality cheese make all the difference.
  • Slice Pears Thinly: Thinner slices cook evenly and won’t weigh the crust down.
  • Warm Dough: If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
  • Don’t Skip the Honey: That slight drizzle ties the whole flavor profile together!
