Pizza Trieste
An American Italian pizza with caramelized apples and Gorgonzola
Ingredients
- 10 oz pizza dough 280 g
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ tsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 4 ½ fresh mozzarella cheese 125 g
- 1 green apple Granny Smith, Honey Crisp
- 2 ¼ oz Gorgonzola cheese 65 g or about 4 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the highest heat possible.
- Form a ball from the pizza dough. Start by making a circular motion with the palm of your hand, with some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put your pizza dough balls on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with some more flour, and let them proof covered with a kitchen towel for another 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl mix 3 tbsp of sour cream and 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil. This will serve as your pizza sauce for your Trieste pizza.
- Cut the apple in quarters and remove the core. Slice it thinly, you need about 1/10 inch or 2-3 mm thick slices.
- Shape your dough to form a large, thin disk and place it in a pizza pan.
- Spread the sour cream sauce over the pizza dough. Starting from the middle with a back of a spoon or a ladle, using circular motions towards the edges, make sure the sour cream covers your pizza dough. Leave an edge about 1 inch (2-3 cm) thick.
- Chop the rosemary and sprinkle some salt and rosemary over the sauce.
- Add the mozzarella cheese. Just tear it in bite size pieces, and place them over the sauce.
- Put your apple slices on top of your pizza Trieste.
- Finally crumble the Gorgonzola over the pizza.
- Transfer your pizza Trieste into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned.
