Ingredients
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 pear, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta
- 1/2 cup grated pecorino romano
- 2 tbsp shaved fresh black truffle, from 1/2 oz truffle (can substitute 2 tbsp truffle oil)
- 1 tbsp honey
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place pizza steel or stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. Let steel heat up for a full 45 minutes.
- When oven is ready, generously flour a pizza peel and set aside.
- On a floured surface, flatten the middle of the dough ball into a large disk, leaving a thick 1-inch lip. Pick up the disk, and holding the thick edge, use gravity to shape the dough into a 12-inch circle. Lay on prepared pizza peel and adjust shape into a circle. Jiggle the peel to make sure the dough isn’t sticking; add more flour if it is.
- Brush dough with olive oil, leaving 1/2-inch border. Arrange pear slices evenly over the surface. Dot with ricotta cheese and top with pecorino. Slide pizza onto steel and bake for 5 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 2- 4 minutes, or until crust is blistered and charred in spots.
- Remove pizza from oven, top with shaved truffle (or drizzle with truffle oil, if using) and drizzle with honey. Crack pepper over top. Slice and serve.
