Gorgonzola Pizza with Pears & Prosciutto

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound pizza dough

2 Tablespoons olive oil

8 ounces mozzarella (grated)

6 ounces Gorgonzola (crumbled)

2 ounces prosciutto (torn or cut)

1 cup arugula

1 ripe pear (thinly sliced)

3 Tablespoon Cornmeal (for the baking sheet or pizza stone to prevent sticking)

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

On a well-floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough about 1/4" thick, (or thinner if you like).

Sprinkle a cookie sheet or pizza stone with cornmeal and slide the dough onto the baking surface.

Pre-bake pizza for 3-5 minutes, or until barely golden. It might puff up, but will relax once you remove it from the oven. Gently pierce the pizza with a knife to help deflate any bubbles, if necessary.

Core and thinly slice pear. Chop or tear prosciutto and crumble Gorgonzola.

Brush the surface with olive oil, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and gorgonzola. Arrange pear slices and scatter chopped prosciutto. Return to oven and bake an additional 8-10 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted. Top with fresh arugula.
