Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven until just crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender. Turn on, and drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened. Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of blue cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of blue cheese evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Arrange the sliced pears over the cheese, and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.

FIG, PROSCIUTTO AND BLUE CHEESE PIZZA
Steps:
- For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Using a fork, incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, continue to work and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly coat a clean bowl with additional olive oil and add the dough, turning once to coat the dough in oil. Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 pieces, using 1 piece for the pizza. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for another pizza.
- For the pizza: Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle that will fit on the grill pan. Add the dough to the hot grill pan and cook until stiff and bubbles start to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until grill marks form and the dough is completely cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Transfer the crust to a baking sheet. Lay the prosciutto slices over the crust, then top with the figs and blue cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

"Loaded with crumbled blue cheese, slices are always popular at card parties and New Year's Eve gatherings," writes the DeWitt, Michigan reader. "My kids also love this pizza-we sometimes make it as an alternative to the regular Italian variety.-Kathy Stanaway, DeWitt, Michigan

CHICKEN & BLUE CHEESE PIZZA
The blue cheese in place of the expected mozzarella gives this pizza a surprising and sophisticated taste. It's excellent as an entree or appetizer-it can be prepared in a round pizza pan as well. -Beverly Lynch, Sugar Grove, Illinois

BLUE CHEESE PIZZA, 3 WAYS
Jim Lahey's easy no-knead pizza dough makes a great base for my three favorite ways to prep Blue Cheese Pizza!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix together the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and mix thoroughly, until the dough comes together in a rough, tacky mass.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature for 18 hours, or until it has more than doubled. (It will take longer in a chilly room and less time in a very warm one.)
- Once dough has sufficiently proofed, flour a work surface and scrape out the dough. Divide into 3 equal parts. Take one portion of dough and pull all four sides of the dough to the center. It doesn't matter if you start on the left or right, or the top or bottom, what you want is four folds to make it easier for you to form the dough into a perfect round shape.
- Gently seal the seams of the dough and turn, seam-side down, molding the dough gently with your palms into a neat circular mound. Repeat with remaining two portions of dough. Dust the mounds with more flour if they are sticky.
- Let the dough rest for a bit while you prepare your pizza toppings. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). (If you don't intend to use the dough right away, you can wrap the balls individually in cling-wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Before using, return to room temperature first. Leave the dough out on the counter, covered in a damp cloth or cling-wrap, for 2 to 3 hours before needed.)
- Take one ball of dough and generously flour it, your hands, and the work surface. To me, the easiest way to shape the pizza is by using a rolling pin to flatten the disk a bit, and then gently pressing the dough out with your fingers until you get a 10 to 12 inch piece of dough. Don't worry if it's not round, and don't handle it more than necessary. Don't apply too much force as you roll the dough out with a pin because you want some of the gas bubbles to remain in the dough. It should look slightly blistered. (Another method is to stretch out the dough using your knuckles as you rotate it, but I'm really bad at it!)
- Whatever method you use, place the pizza on the center of a peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment. Top with one or all of the below pizza flavors.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add the onions and pinch of salt. Cook very slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. Do not be tempted to turn up the heat to hasten the process or your onions might get burnt.
- Once onion are softened and tinged golden, add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Mix together with a wooden spoon. Mix in the mushrooms. The caramelization will now start and continue as you cook the onions for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until sticky and caramelized. Remove from heat and use immediately. (Otherwise, store in an airtight container in the fridge. You will not use all the caramelized onions so store leftovers in the fridge in this way. )
- Prepare the pizza by brushing 2 teaspoons olive oil all over the pizza dough. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella, followed by the mushrooms, the basil, and the crumbled blue cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is golden brown. Rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle some green onions on top before slicing and serving.
- In a small bowl, mix together cooked chicken and the hot sauce. Brush the olive oil all over your prepared pizza dough, then sprinkle evenly with mozzarella.
- Place pieces of marinated chicken on the pizza, followed by the cilantro. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese all over.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is golden brown. Rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle some green onions on top before slicing and serving.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and honey. Brush this honey-olive oil all over your flattened round of dough. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese, then place the slices of pear all over the pizza. Scatter the walnuts and crumbled blue cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is golden brown. Drizzle more honey on top of the freshly baked pizza. Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
FRESH FIG, BACON + BLUE CHEESE PIZZA
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add in 2 1/2 cups flour and salt, stirring with a spoon until the dough comes together but it still sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and work in the additional 1/2 cup flour, kneading it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Rub the same bowl with olive oil then place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place to rise for about 1-1 1/2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and place it back on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin or your hands, form it into your desired shape (sometimes I use baking sheets and do rectangles or free form pizzas - this specific dough will yield one pizza large enough to feed about 3-4 people) and place on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Place the towel back over the dough and let sit in the warm place for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (I actually used a pizza stone and heated my oven to 450 degrees, and baked for 15 minutes. If you're just using a baking sheet, follow the directions below for baking and set to 375 degrees.)
- Assemble the dough on a peel or baking sheet. Cover with a drizzle of olive oil and the garlic cloves, then spread on half of the fontina cheese. Add figs and bacon all over the pizza, then top with remaining fontina and blue cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese and crust is golden and bubbly. Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Toss the arugula with olive oil, salt and pepper, then add on top of pizza. Serve!
