Ingredients
- 1 box King Arthur Gluten Free Bread and Pizza Mix
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 3/4 cups lukewarm milk
- 3 large room temperature eggs
- 4 teaspoons olive oil (or more for pans)
- 1 large Vidalia onion, diced
- 1 package Applegate Organics® Sweet Italian Sausage, sliced
- 3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 package Applegate Naturals® Emmentaler Swiss Cheese
- 2 ripe pears, cored and sliced
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
For the Crust
- Make the pizza dough according to package instructions, allow to rest covered in a bowl for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with olive oil.
- Stir dough to deflate, and divide the rested dough in half.
- Drizzle dough with olive oil, and pat each into a 12 - to 14- inch round on the baking sheet.
- Bake crusts until tops and bottoms begin to brown (about 8 to 12 minutes).
- Remove from oven
For the Toppings
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat and add sliced sausage. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is completely cooked, approximately 8 -10 minutes.
- Combine balsamic vinegar, sage and pepper to the sausage mixture.
- Top baked crusts with slices of Applegate Natural Emmentaler Swiss Cheese, pears and the sausage and onion mixture. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Transfer pizza to the oven. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve warm.
