Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cloves garlic
½ tablespoon olive oil
2 ripe pears, halved and cored
1 tablespoon olive oil
all-purpose flour for dusting
1 unbaked pizza crust
1 tablespoon cornmeal for dusting
6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
5 thin slices prosciutto, cut into halves
1 (6 ounce) package fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the garlic in a small square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic. Wrap foil around garlic to seal.
  • Roast the garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Smash roasted cloves with a fork.
  • Place the pears in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Arrange pear slices on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in hot oven until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
  • Lightly dust a flat surface with flour. Roll the prepared pizza crust dough out onto the prepared surface. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Lay the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. 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.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

This pizza was okay. The crust was a little too thick for my taste and the toppings were a bit bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This pear and prosciutto pizza was absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet pears, salty prosciutto, and creamy goat cheese was perfect. The crust was also cooked to perfection, with a nice crispy exterior and a chewy interior. I will definitel
