ou know what they say: opposites attract, and the gorgonzola-pear duo is no exception: the sweet, crunchy and fresh pears offset the salty and melt-inyour-mouth gorgonzola. The marriage of these two intense flavours never fails to please. Today we propose you a gourmet lunch with a dish we all love: the pizza.
GORGONZOLA AND PEAR PIZZA 2 25-centimeter pizzas 1 tbs honey ½ tsp instant yeast 100 ml wam water pinch of salt 350 g flour 2 tbs neutral oil 2 pears ½ tsp sugar 2 tsp pine nuts 200 g gorgonzola
Dissolve the honey and yeast in warm water. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, oil and pour in the water mixture. Knead the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and core the pear and slice it in equal pieces. Cut the cheese into cubes. Preheat the oven to 180oC. Divide the dough in half and roll each one into a circle. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the pears on top of the dough and sprinkle with sugar, cheese and pine nuts. If you want the pizzas to have crunchy edges, lightly brush them with oil. Bake for 15 minutes.
