List of Ingredients

1 loaf frozen pizza dough, thawed overnight in the refrigerator
4 oz. cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 slightly ripe pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup whole almonds

Glaze (optional)
2 Tbsp. apple jelly, melted



Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9" x 13" jellyroll pan or 14" round pizza pan and press dough into the pan, crimping slightly to form a raised edge. Do not let rise. Scatter the cream cheese chunks over the dough.

In large saut� pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sugar and cinnamon and continue to heat until mixture caramelizes slightly. Add pears and almonds and saut� until pears are slightly softened, about six minutes.

Arrange pears and almonds on pizza dough. Bake until bread dough is golden around the edges, about 25-30 minutes. If using glaze, brush melted apple jelly over entire pizza, including crust, for a nice shine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
