(No Ratings Yet)
Loading...Rich, creamy Gorgonzola and mozzarella topped with fresh tomato slices, fresh basil and cracked black pepper – simple and fresh for summer.
Ingredients
- 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
- 1/2 16-oz. Package of Sliced Fresh Mozzarella, torn into pieces (or 1 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella)
- Gorgonzola, or Crumbled Blue Cheese
- 1 large Ripe Tomato (Beefsteak or an heirloom variety), sliced into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick rounds
- Fresh Basil Leaves
- Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.
Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.
Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.
Evenly scatter the mozzarella on the dough, then the Gorgonzola.
Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
When the pizza comes out of the oven, let the pie sit for 2-4 minutes. Then place the tomato slices evenly on the pizza.
Top with fresh basil leaves and fresh cracked pepper.
