Gorgonzola, Prosciutto and Pear Pizza, Italian Recipe - Gianni's North Beach

  • I got slammed by a cousin in Sicily who complained that they never put fruit on pizza. I told him that this was a San Francisco thing. This is a white pizza, no tomato topping. In Rome, they make a long pizza bianca with just EVOO, sea salt and rosemary. In Campania they make a white pizza with EVOO, sea salt and oregano. These white pizzas are great on their own but also as an accompaniment to an antipasto or a salad. This one is a symphony, the sweet pear, the saltiness of the prosciutto, the tanginess of the gorgonzola and the harmonizing influence of the fresh mozzarella.

    Nice touch to enhance the pear flavor. I'm glad you made this recipe your own.
    If the pears I'm using aren't as flavorful as I'd like I adjust the recipe too. Sometimes I add more pear slices, cut the slices thicker, or sprinkle them with sugar so they macerate a bit (be sure the slices are dry before putting them on the pizza).

    I saw this video several years ago, and this topping recipe is still me and my family’s favourite, even after so many years of making different types of toppings for pizzas at home using a pizza oven.

    Thank your for all your wonderful videos...there is nothing else quite like it. I tried the recipe the other day and one of my guests commented that the pear flavor gets a little lost during the baking. To help intensify the flavor I tried prebaking the pear slices brushed with some butter in a low temperature oven till most of the water evaporated. This really helped their flavor come through on the pizza.

    I've actually heard a bit of this combination of fruit with savory foods being somewhat common in Italy. Melon with prosciutto sounds crazy but I found it to be quite delectable. Wonderful video!

    I worked in an emergency department for 2-1/2 years, and the two most common injuries coming through the doors were people who burned their palate on hot pizza, and people who forgot to take the toothpick outta their deli sandwich, before they took a bite. A distant third was people injuring their gums eating tortilla chips. I never understood it, but it was a "thing."
    Thanks for the recipe! Godere!

    Thanks to you sir, i now know how to make a great tomato gravy! I owe, it all to you, my "teacher'. Now, my husband is asking me to make it all the time! i think he should watch your videos..so he can learn to do these wonderful things. he is a good cook, just not familiar with Italian cooking, sauces..things like that. I think some ppl assume that it's to difficult, but..it's not. Thanks

    I can't stop making pizza. Love your videos and care. I've been using an old sq. Pan. Into the weber grill 500 . Then after a bit transfer the pie to the grill. Great crisp and slight char. I've been making ravioli tambien. Me gusto .

    • @GianniNorthBeachTV
      @GianniNorthBeachTV  9 лет назад

      Ciao Javier. I love making pizza on the grill. I put the dough right on the grill to firm up the pizza. Then I turn it over and add the toppings on the first side as the second side gets a char and finishes baking with the hood closed. It's quick and delicious.
      Keep on Cooking!
      Buon appetito!

      Gratsi. My latest ravioli filling. Because its what I had. There meatballs peas green beans carrots spinach garlic salt seeasobing half sweet potato sugar and a little red peppers. With or without ricota. And peparoni. Sauteed or micro. Then all chopped or finely mixed. Parm. Placed on top of one peparoni on to of the pasta dough then sprinkle of montzerela on top. Then red sauce and parm or more cheese. And olive oil. Came out great. Also added a little red bell. All that goodness from a few small ingredients.

    Amazing! I make a lot of pizza in a lot of kinds (even eating a lot of pizza in Italy) but this is first time ever see this receipe! WOW! Gianni, please tell us what you made with other two! ;) PS: how often do you travel to Italy? I live close to Italy so it is easy for me to the italian products or simply go there, but for you to get thouse products staying in San Francisco is simply stunning :)

    Hi, Gianni. Great pizza videos! Question... What brand and thickness is your pizza stone? Love the way the pizza came out of the oven, well done and with nice tan.

    • @GianniNorthBeachTV
      @GianniNorthBeachTV  6 лет назад +1

      Ciao Rolando. I've had this stone for a long time and there is no brand on it. It's 1/4 inch thick. If I had to replace this round stone I'd get a square one that covered the rack to increase the baking surface.
      Buon appetito!

    If you ever burn your mouth (tongue, roof, wherever), on pizza, soup, tea, or coffee, take a teaspoon or one packet of REAL sugar (no sugar substitutes, please), pour it directly on your tongue, close your mouth, and let it slowly dissolve in your mouth. It will get rid of at least fifty percent of the pain instantly. I’ve been doing this since the ‘80s, when I burned my mouth on hot tea, and a coworker shared this tip with me. Remember, real sugar, let it dissolve slowly.

      Pears and gorgonzola team together nicely. Maybe think of it as a type of savory tart? (That happens to use pizza dough for a crust.) Don't want to "waste" the dough? Just try eating a pear with a few nibbles of a blue cheese. If you like that, this will likely appeal to you. If not, skip it. Not every one likes blue cheese.
