Apple and Prosciutto Pizza

We’ll be the first to admit that nothing beats a timeless pepperoni pizza with plenty of melty cheese. We’re also big fans of a classic supreme piled high with meats and veggies. And while those standbys will always be delicious, we also wholeheartedly believe that some of the best pizza combinations are discovered when you get creative with your ingredients.

This Apple and Prosciutto Pizza, AKA a Charcuterie Board Pizza, is just that. It’s a blend of ingredients you’d find on an expertly arranged charcuterie board. The flavor combination of salty prosciutto, sweet notes from fresh fruit, creamy, sharp cheddar, and a surprise pop of crunch from walnuts is spot on. And no red sauce required! A base of olive oil and garlic brings it all together for the perfect bite.

Equipment

Pi Pizza Oven

Ingredients

1 dough ball

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Shredded mozzarella

Shredded sharp white cheddar

3 pieces prosciutto

1/4 apple, thinly sliced

1/4 pear, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Balsamic glaze, optional

Directions

Step 1: Preheat Your Pi Pizza Oven

Fire up your Pi Prime pizza oven. Allow it to preheat for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2: Stretch Your Dough

Use your favorite homemade or store-bought pizza dough. Form and stretch the ball of dough.

Step 3: Add Your Olive Oil Base

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the mixture onto the pizza dough, covering the entire surface.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

Mix together shredded mozzarella and shredded sharp white cheddar. Sprinkle the cheese on the base of the pizza.

Step 5: Add Fruit, Prosciutto, and Walnuts

Arrange slices of pear and apple on top of the cheese. Add slices of prosciutto and sprinkle walnuts over top.

Step 6: Cook the Pizza

Fire the pizza into your preheated pizza oven. Cook for up to two minutes, turning as needed to avoid too much browning. Remove the cooked pizza from the pizza oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and dig in!
