    Most pizza styles need just a tiny amount of yeast, often so small that your kitchen scale can't measure it. With our tool, you can measure these tiny amounts using your smartphone.

Ingredients

  • (For 4 small pizzas, about 660 grams of Neapolitan pizza dough):
    • 2 ripe pears
    • 1 piece of good blue cheese
    • 1 red onion
    • 1tbs thick, good quality balsamic vinegar
    • 1tbs olive oil
    • Pizza dough for 4 small pizzas (for the exact ingredients, check out our pizza dough calculator)

Preparation

If a pear could choose who she would marry, she’d marry blue cheese. They’re perfect together.

For this fantastic, simple pizza, start by making a fire in the oven and heating it up to about 400/450°C. Slice the pears as thin as you can. Do the same with the onions.

Form four pizza shapes out of the dough. I recommend using a Neapolitan pizza dough. Click here to make (Neapolitan) pizza dough.

It doesn’t need any tomato sauce, in case you were wondering. Put about 3 or 4 slices of pear on each pizza. Add some red onion and sprinkle it with some pieces of blue cheese. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and bake it in the oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Finish it with a bit of thick balsamic vinegar. The sweetness of the vinegar, the salty cheese, and the sweet-sour pear make an irresistible couple. Enjoy!
