Directions

1. 1

   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.

   Dust with flour and roll out dough into a circle. Put on a pizza pan and brush whole crust with a layer of olive oil.

3. 3

   Sprinkle dough with Garlic Salt and Parmesan Cheese.

4. 4

   In a preheated oven (400 degrees) put the pizza crust into the oven and let bake for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, melt butter and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet on medium heat.

6. 6

   Slice pear into thin slices. Gently sautee pear slices and walnuts for about 3-5 mintues until the pears begin to carmelize.

7. 7

   Take crust out of the oven after baking for 5 minutes and sprinkles with mozzarella.

8. 8

   Arrange pears and walnuts all over the top of the pizza and crumble the entire wedge of bleu cheese on top of the pear and walnut mixture.

9. 9

   Bake for an additonal 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is browned.

10. 10

    Lightly drizzle honey over the whole pizza and serve.

    Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped flat leaf parsley (optional).

    ***Added flavor: Fry some bacon until crispy and crumble real bacon bits over the top! My family loves the additon of the bacon.
