List of ingredients for Pear, red onion and Gorgonzola pizza


* 500g Strong white bread flour
* ½ pint tepid water
* 1 teaspoon easy Yeast or 1 sachet of yeast
* 1 teaspoon Salt
* 1 teaspoon golden Caster sugar
* 2 tablespoons Olive oil
* 8 tablespoons Pizza Sauce or passata
* 1 Red onions, sliced into 5mm rings
* 1 Pear sliced into 20 mm slices
* 150g Gorgonzola cheese, chopped into pieces
* 4 tablespoons Walnuts, chopped
* 25g Rocket leaves
* Olive oil to serve

===Method===
* Put the Yeast in a bowl, with the Sugar and cover with the warm water.
* Leave this to the side for 5 minutes.
* In a bowl (or even better, a Mixer or Bread maker), add the Flour, Yeast and Sugar solution, Salt and Olive oil.
* Mix together to form a soft Dough.
* If doing by Hand turn the Bread out onto a floured surface, then with a firm fist, Knead the bread, for 10 minutes.
* Place the Dough in a large clean mixing bowl, which has had a dribble of Oil wiped over it.
* Cover with some oiled Cling film and leave in a warm place such as an airing cupboard or near a warm cooker for 1 hour.
* When you come back to it, the Dough will have doubled in size.
* Remove the Cling film and stick your fist into the Dough. It will knock all the air out of it.
* Knock the Dough around for a minute or until it has deflated. It is now ready to shape.
* Heat an Oven to 200C.
* Cut the Dough into 4 then roll out each piece into a flat thin round Pizza base.
* Prick the pizza all over with a fork. This prevents it puffing up too much and burning while it is cooking.
* Top each Pizza with 2 tablespoons of Tomato sauce, some Onions rings, Pear slices, some Gorgonzola, 1 tablespoon of Walnuts.
* Lay the Pizzas on baking trays and Bake in the Oven for 15-20 minutes. You want to base to be golden and crispy and the Cheese to be melted and gooey.
* When they have finished cook top with a handful of Rocket and a drizzle of Olive oil and serve.
