Some things sound like a weird combination but are actually destined to be combined. For me those are typically a sweet and savory combination like cranberry sauce with turkey or applesauce on potato latkes. So when I went to a restaurant and they were serving this pizza, I was skeptical while also intrigued. Once I took a bite, though, all of my doubts vanished. This combination is delicious!
Nutritional Highlight: Pears. High in fiber and several vitamins and minerals, pears are an important fruit to eat during the fall and winter months when they are in season. Pears also contain folate, which is especially important for pregnant or nursing mothers. Another important characteristic of pears is that they contain the trace element boron, which helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium more efficiently. **Enjoy this pizza with a side salad made with spinach or arugula to maximize your calcium absorption**
1/4 recipe pizza dough
1/2 Bartlett Pear, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Mozzarella, finely shredded

Prepare the pizza dough as directed, here. Let dough rest 15 minutes. If pizza dough is frozen, allow 24 hours thawing time.
Preheat oven to 475º. Roll out the dough on a flour surface until thin. Lift the dough up and lightly pull to stretch the dough. Lay dough out on a pizza pan or sheet pan.
