Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Thinly slice the 2 pears (about 1/8 inch thick) and arrange them over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Crumble the 4 oz blue cheese evenly over the pears.

  4. Step 4

    Slide the parchment with the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp honey. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Slice and serve warm.
