Spread the mashed garlic onto the dough; top with the Swiss cheese. Arrange the pears, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese onto the pizza. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the crust with the 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.

Tips:

Choose ripe but firm Asian pears. Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy, while unripe pears will be too hard and crunchy.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the pears. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
If you are using a bamboo sushi mat, be sure to wet it before using it. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the mat.
When assembling the sushi, be sure to spread the rice evenly over the seaweed. This will help to ensure that the sushi is evenly cooked.
Roll the sushi tightly, but not too tightly. You want the sushi to be firm, but not so tight that it is difficult to eat.
Serve the sushi immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto and Asian pear sushi is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and salty flavors, along with the crunchy texture of the pear, makes this sushi a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
