Ingredients
- 2 x 145g packs pizza base mix
- 1½ tbsp. olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- plain flour, for dusting
- 150g crème fraîche
- 50g Parmesan, finely grated
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 2 pears, cored and sliced
- 125g Gorgonzola, rind discarded, cut into small pieces
- 4 tsp balsamic glaze, to drizzle
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Nonstick baking paper should be used to line two baking trays.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pizza base mix, 175ml warm water, and the olive oil. Mix to form a dough, then knead for 5-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and springy.
- Allow to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size, in a gently oiled dish covered with clingfilm in a warm area. Cut the dough in half and roll each half into an oval shape (about 30x25cm).
- Season with black pepper and combine the crème fraîche and 40g Parmesan. Place the prosciutto, pears, and Gorgonzola on top of the pizza bases.
- Season with black pepper, drizzle with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden, risen, and melted. Serve immediately with a dollop of balsamic glaze.
