FALL PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• 1) Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and if you?re using a pizza stone, make sure you place it in your oven before you turn the oven on. 2) Roll out the pizza dough into a 12 inch circle (either by hand or with a rolling pin) and make sure you place the pizza dough on a pizza peel to slide it on the stone if you?re using that, if not, roll out the dough and place it on a baking sheet. 3) Top the dough with the cheese, pears and prosciutto and pop it in the oven to bake until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes or so (might take a little less time so keep an eye on it). 4) While the pizza is baking, add the arugula, cranberries, balsamic and oil in a large bowl and toss together well. When the pizza comes out, top it with the dressed arugula mixture then dig right in.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Brush a large baking sheet (preferably rimless) with oil, or line with parchment paper, if desired, for easy cleanup.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll and stretch dough into a 12-by-16-inch oval (or as large as will fit on baking sheet); transfer to sheet.
• Sprinkle dough with half the mozzarella. Scatter vegetables on top, and dollop with ricotta; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and, if using, rosemary. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until bubbling and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve.
