Ingredients
 

  • 1 (500 g) Pizza dough

TOPPINGS

  • 1 pear (Red Anjou | Firm )
  • 1 Tbsp (15 g) olive oil
  • 4 oz (115 g) Gruyère Cheese (Shredded)
  • 2 oz (56 g) blue cheese (Roquefort)
  • 4 slices Cheese (For cutout Ghosts)
  • 2 Tbsp apricot jam

Instructions
 

  • 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.
    1 Pizza dough

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.
    1 pear, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 4 oz Gruyère Cheese, 2 oz blue cheese

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).
  • While your pizza is in the oven prepare the sliced cheese by using your favorite ghost cookie cutter.
    Once your Ghostly Pear & Blue Cheese Pizza is out of the oven, dress your pizza with the ghost cutout cheese and dollops of apricot jam.
    Slide the pizza onto your serving board. Enjoy with a your favorite mixed salad or just as is! "BONE" Appétit & Happy Halloween!
