Description

A gourmet Gorgonzola pizza topped with creamy mozzarella, drizzled with a sweet fig or blackberry jam syrup, and accented with fresh rosemary for a perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors. Ready in just 15 minutes, this thin crust pizza balances bold cheese with a fruity glaze, ideal for a sophisticated and quick meal.

Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 11" thin crust pizza dough (NOT pre-cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cheeses

  • 2 ounces gorgonzola cheese
  • 5 ounces mozzarella (just over half of one standard-size fresh mozzarella ball)

Toppings and Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons fruit jam or jelly (Fig or blackberry jam recommended)
  • 1/2 tablespoon water (for jam syrup)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, removed from stem

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 500ºF to ensure a hot environment for a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
  2. Prepare Dough: Brush the pizza dough evenly with olive oil to create a golden, slightly crisp base.
  3. Prepare Cheeses: Using a fork, crumble the gorgonzola and mozzarella cheeses into small pieces to distribute evenly across the dough.
  4. Assemble Pizza: Spread the crumbled cheeses evenly over the oiled pizza dough, covering all areas for balanced flavor with every bite.
  5. Make Jam Syrup: In a small bowl, mix the fruit jam with 1/2 tablespoon water, stirring until the jam dissolves into a pourable syrup; add a bit more water if needed to thin.
  6. Drizzle Jam: Drizzle the jam syrup evenly over the cheese layer to add a sweet contrast to the savory toppings.
  7. Add Rosemary: Tear the rosemary sprigs into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the pizza for an aromatic herbal kick.
  8. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 6-7 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven, cut into 8 slices, and allow to cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors and avoid burns.

Notes

  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated in the oven for a crispier crust.
  • If fig or blackberry jam is unavailable, substitute with other fruit jams like raspberry or apricot.
  • Do not over-thin the jam syrup; it should be pourable but not watery to maintain a good balance of taste.
  • Fresh rosemary adds the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch (use about 1 teaspoon).
  • Watch the pizza closely while baking at 500ºF to avoid burning the crust or cheese.
