Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (about 250g)

Toppings

  • 2 medium ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 150g brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) to get it hot enough for baking the pizza to a crisp and golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. Add the Toppings: Arrange the thinly sliced pears evenly over the rolled-out dough, then place the slices of brie cheese over the pears, covering the surface.
  4. Bake the Pizza: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown.
  5. Drizzle with Honey: Once out of the oven, immediately drizzle the warm pizza with honey to balance the richness of the brie with a touch of sweetness. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm pears like Bosc or Anjou for the best texture.
  • If you prefer, sprinkle some fresh thyme or rosemary before baking for added flavor.
  • To make the crust extra crispy, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven to savor the melted cheese and juicy pears.
