Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons corn meal
- 1 lb pizza dough divided into two balls
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup caramelized onions recipe found in this chapter
- 6 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 pears thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh arugula
Instructions
- Sprinkle cornmeal onto a pizza stone or pizza pan. Roll out the pizza dough into two 9-inch pizzas. Place the dough on the cornmeal-dusted pan and let it rest for 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Once the oven is preheated, spread the pizza sauce over the dough. If desired, fold the edges of the pizza dough to form a crust. Bake the dough and sauce for 6 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, carefully remove the pizza from the hot oven and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese.
- Add on the caramelized onions, honey, chili flakes, and pears, divided between the two pizzas.
- Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the crust begins to crisp and brown.
- Add handfuls of arugula on top of the ricotta cheese. Drizzle hot honey over the arugula and, if you like extra heat, sprinkle with chili flakes. Slice and enjoy hot!
