This flatbread with pancetta, pear, and blue cheese is so delicious and will simply be served as both a primary course or appetizer (assume elevated cheeseboard in flatbread kind). I really like recipes whose substances meet on the intersection of savory and candy, the place one of the best of each worlds are allowed to mingle harmoniously in each chew. Every element was scrumptious in its personal proper and the ratio of all of them was effectively balanced and never overwhelming.
The flatbread was deliciously crisp on the underside and fluffy on the within, and it’s preparation was easy and forgiving sufficient in order to not add an excessive amount of stress to the method. This recipe was additionally a pleasant incentive to department out with several types of cheese, as I don’t usually prepare dinner with blue cheese or fontina. Lastly, the method used to make the white wine onions is an effective trick to maintain in your again pocket, as it might be an elevated topping on all method of different dishes. We ate our pizzas as a stand-alone dinner, and all felt fairly glad.
My solely critiques are that the addition of recent arugula on prime after baking sounds good in concept, however in follow it was truly slightly messy and detracted from the opposite flavors. I believe arugula on the aspect as a easy salad could be a extra sensible accompaniment, as I wouldn’t wish to free the peppery stability it provides to the expertise solely. The arugula on prime additionally obscures how pretty all of the toppings look on the pizza which I had given each effort and time to rearrange artfully. I additionally discovered my flatbread a bit of thicker than I’d have favored it, and that additionally felt like a slight distraction from the toppings. I selected to make 4 flatbreads and so I baked two per half sheet tray. There most likely would have been room to roll them out thinner, and the thickness is private choice on the finish of the day, however maybe it might be useful so as to add a notice that they do puff up a bit so rolling them proportionally thinner than desired is essential.
