Today we've got another crazy concoction for you - a pizza made with pears and ham. To get started, we're of course making our own crust, although lately we've been using half whole wheat flour and half white flour. If you don't already have your own pizza crust recipe, you can find a bunch of great ones right here.
Making the crust is a little more time consuming, but sometimes it's half the fun! Besides being cheaper than buying pre-made crusts, these tend to be much tastier, and they have a better texture.
After the rising and kneading process, here Megan is rolling out the crust on a pizza pan.
To start our toppings, first we caramelize some diced onions on the stove top.
Next we finely chop up a few cloves of garlic (for a stronger flavor, use whole garlic cloves as a topping!)
Rather than a tomato or alfredo sauce, for this pizza we're using a homemade butter, garlic, and herb mixture.
While putting together the pizza, we realized this would be pretty awesome as a stuffed-crust, so here's some mozzarella cut into small sticks and placed around the edge.
Carefully pull up the edges of the crust and wrap it around the cheese to get the stuffed-crust effect. If you have packaged string cheese it takes a lot of the work out as you don't have to slice cheese into the correct shape ahead of time.
Next we lay down thin slices of pear and top the pizza with mozzarella. Smoked gouda or provolone would also be fantastic on this!
The next topping is thinly sliced brown sugar ham.
Finally we toss on the caramelized onions and pop the pizza in the oven.
And here it is, baked and steaming hot!
After cooling for a few minutes, it's time to slice up this delicious pie.
Another successful experiment in pizza! If you missed it before, be sure to also check out our spicy strawberry chicken pizza.
