Gorgonzola And Walnut Pizza Recipes

ONION CONFIT, WALNUT AND GORGONZOLA PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.Saute over medium heat, gently scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to keep the onions from sticking as they caramelize. After about 35 minutes, the onions should be a rich golden color and very sweet. Add the garlic, and saute for 5 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan with it. Set the confit aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 500*F.
• Roll out the dough and place it on a lightly oiled pizza pan. Brush with olive oil.
• Spread the confit on the dough and sprinkle on the walnuts. Follow with the Gorgonzola cheese, then the mozzarella.
• Bake the pizza for about 8-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and sage.

GORGONZOLA AND WALNUT PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare the pizza dough, following the recipe of our Margherita pizza here. That recipe makes six pizzas, so be sure to make the right amount of dough for your needs.
• When the dough is ready to be used, preheat the oven to 250-275°C (480-530°F). Cut the mozzarella into slices the size of a finger. Then place them on a plate and let them release excess moisture in the fridge. Cut gorgonzola into small pieces. Chop walnuts.
• Place some flour on a plate, grab a ball of dough and dip both sides of it in flour. Place onto a baking paper and gently press the dough with your fingers from the center towards the edges. Continue until the base is very thin but leave some thicker crust.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake the pizza in the oven for a minute or two. When you see the pizza dough starting to cook, take it out.
• Place some mozzarella slices evenly on the pizza. Then add gorgonzola and walnuts. Drizzle with some olive oil. Put the pizza back in the oven and cook for 4-6 minutes, until the pizza looks cooked from the crust.
• Serve immediately for best taste.

• Divide the mixture between the wraps. Add the cheese and walnuts.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

CHICKEN, WALNUT, AND GORGONZOLA PIZZA

• Add in the chicken and continue cooking 4-5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat; spread mixture on the unbaked pizza crust.

• Bake in a 425°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted and crust is golden brown.

OVEN-BAKED PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, GORGONZOLA, AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.
• Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.
• Meanwhile, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, stretching corners with your hands to form a 16- by 13-inch rectangle. (Dough will be easier to roll out as it warms.) Transfer to a large tray lined with sheet of parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork, then slide dough (on parchment) from tray onto hot baking sheet.
• Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, about 10 minutes. (Prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten.) Remove crust from oven and leave oven on.
• Sprinkle crust evenly with cheese, walnuts, and parsley. Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden, cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, and underside is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
