Ghostly Pear & Blue Cheese Pizza | Halloween

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. NOTE: For this recipe, I used my Large Bonmat on the top of a Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
• NOTE: For this recipe, I have made my dough from scratch but you can use your favorite dough recipe of store bought pizza dough.

  Take your dough out and form a ball. Transfer it in a clean bowl and cover. Let it rise in a turned off preheated oven (100F/37C) for 1 hour or at room temperature for 90 minutes, until double in size.

ASSEMBLY

• Once the dough has doubled, punch the dough down, and transfer it onto your prepared work station. Roll the dough into a "ghostly shape", you can use a silicone proof knife to do so. Set aside on the prepared baking sheet.

• Thinly slice your pear, and using a piping tip carve the eyes and mouth (smaller size for the eyes & larger size for the mouth. Set aside.

  Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and crumbled blue cheese. Add your sliced pears.

BAKE!

• Preheat oven to 450℉/225℃. (This allows the dough to rest while your oven is preheating). Bake for 15 minutes. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Pizza from 12 minutes).
  

  • Save
• While your pizza is in the oven prepare the sliced cheese by using your favorite ghost cookie cutter.

  Slide the pizza onto your serving board. Enjoy with a your favorite mixed salad or just as is! "BONE" Appétit & Happy Halloween!
