Asian Pear Pizza

This one is family sized.

Many people may think that a fruit pizza is a strange thing to have in a children's cooking area.  However one of the things with education and children is that children are usually more open to variations in recipes and food from different cultures than adults.  There fore when adults support what could be a healthy diet extra then children will follow suit.  Especially when that same recipe for a big family size pizza is made into child size portions from the beginning.  Making child size portions does take extra dough  though.


Ingredients

• Cover the work area first.
• One amount of pizza dough.
• 2 to 3 Asian Pears - cored and very thinly sliced. [better a more experienced knife handling person do this section] let the slices drain off for a short while.
• 120 gr [1/8 lb] of Pancetta (bacon) -cooked until crisp and drained on paper towels.
• 50 g [2 to 3 oz] of Gorgonzola cheese - crumbled.
• 90 g [ 4 oz] Mozarella cheese - shredded.
• freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220 deg C [425 deg F].
2. Roll out the dough into pieces that are child size. 
1.  I have found the best measurement was from the wrist to the large finger tip.  These may be square or round in shape.  Usually depends on how many children you are cooking for at one time.
3. Pre cook the dough so that the dough is not soggy when the children eat this pizza.
1. Cool this pizza base so that there is less heat for the children to work over.  Also cooler base has the actual oven heat melting the cheeses when placed into the oven again for cooking.
4. Starting from the outside work around the edges and towards the middle covering the Pizza shape with the slices of the Asian Pear.
5.  Since the Pancetta , as well as the Gorgonzola cheese, is relatively strong in flavour go easy on these as they are crumbled onto the top.
6. A sprinkling of shredded Mozarella will hold everything together.
7. bake until the centre has melted completely.
8. Remove from heat and cool.
9. Slice and enjoy
