Today’s Culinary Experiment: Spiced Pear and Bacon Pizza

I’m thrilled to share with you today a uniquely delicious recipe inspired by the crisp fall weather and my love for unexpected flavor combinations. This Spiced Pear and Bacon Pizza is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for cozy evenings in or gatherings with friends.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• pizza dough (300g)
• ricotta cheese (150g)
• spiced pears, thinly sliced (200g)
• bacon, cooked and crumbled (100g)
• mozzarella cheese, shredded (100g)
• arugula (50g)
• balsamic glaze for drizzling
• olive oil for brushing
• salt and pepper to taste

To prepare this delectable pizza, start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread a layer of ricotta cheese over the pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust. Arrange the spiced pear slices evenly on top of the ricotta. Next, sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon over the pears, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula in a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and top with the dressed arugula. Finish off the pizza with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a delightful tangy sweetness.

This Spiced Pear and Bacon Pizza weighs approximately 800g after cooking and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 200g with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the spiced pears before baking for an extra layer of warmth and spice.
