Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

290 g pizza crust mix
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing
plain flour, for dusting
150 g creme fraiche
50 g parmesan cheese, finely grated
8 slices prosciutto
2 pears, cored and sliced
125 g gorgonzola, rind discarded, cut into small pieces
4 teaspoons balsamic glaze, to drizzle

Steps:

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°c, fan 200°c. Line 2 baking trays with nonstick baking paper.
Put the pizza base mix in a large bowl and add 175ml warm water and 1tbsp of the olive oil. Mix to a dough, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 mins until smooth and springy. Put in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for 45mins or until doubled in size. Divide the dough in half and roll each half to an oval measuring roughly 30x25cm.
Mix the creme fraiche and parmesan with a little black pepper, then divide between the bases. Top with the prosciutto, pears, and gorgonzola, then drizzle with the remaining oil. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until golden and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately with the balsamic glaze drizzled over.
