Fruited Cheese Pizza image

I know I got this recipe from either Gourmet or Bon Appetit maybe 15-20 years or so ago. It has become a summer fixture in my home. Always impressive and delicious. The fruit in the ingredients list is what the recipe listed, but I have happily subbed all kinds of fresh (and tinned) fruit over the years.

  • Butter a 16 inch pizza pan.
  • Punch dough down.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The flavor was good, and the crust was crispy. I think I'll make it again, but I'll make a few changes to the recipe first.

This pizza was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time, like garlic powder and oregano.

The flavor of this pizza was great, but the crust was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try making it with a different type of flour next time, like whole wheat flour.

This pizza was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a stronger type of cheese. Next time, I'll use a milder cheese, like mozzarella.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit and cheese. I had some leftover blueberries and goat cheese, and this pizza was the perfect way to use them up. It was delicious!

The crust was a little too thick for my liking, but the flavor of the pizza was great. I think I'll try making it with a thinner crust next time.

This pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter type of fruit. Next time, I'll use a more tart fruit, like cranberries or raspberries.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of fruit or cheese that you like, so you can customize it to your own taste. I also like that it's a relatively quick and easy recipe to make.
