PEAR AND BLEU CHEESE PIZZA WITH HONEY DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Defrost the pizza dough and follow instructions on package for making a 12" pizza crust. Make sure ball is thoroughly defrosted and has had time to rest (about 1/2 hour in a bowl) as it will make the dough more elastic and easier to form into a pizza crust.

• Take crust out of the oven after baking for 5 minutes and sprinkles with mozzarella.
• Arrange pears and walnuts all over the top of the pizza and crumble the entire wedge of blue cheese on top of the pear and walnut mixture.
• Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is browned.
• Lightly drizzle honey over the whole pizza and serve.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped flat leaf parsley (optional).
