Instructions:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot sliced thin
1 pound pizza dough cut in half and at room temperature
flour for dusting
4 tablespoons olive oil for pears and pizza
2 bosc pears sliced into ¼ inch slices
8 ounces mozzarella cheese roughly torn

4-6 slices of prosciutto

Instructions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. While the oven is preheating, caramelize the shallots. Bring a medium sized skillet to medium heat and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2. While the oven is preheating, caramelize the shallots. Bring a medium sized skillet to medium heat and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Add the sliced shallots and sauté until the shallots soften and edges slightly caramelize, about 5-8 minutes. Once the shallots change color and darken, remove them and set aside.
4. Wipe the same skillet clean and drizzle a bit more olive oil. Add the sliced pears and cook until the pears just deepen in color and smell sweet, for about 4-6 minutes. Then turn over and caramelize the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove and set aside.
5. Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and divide the pizza dough in half.
6. Roll each dough ball into a 9–10-inch circle and drizzle the center of the dough with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
7. Top both pizzas with roughly torn mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese. Gently tear large slices of prosciutto and place the slices around the pizza, along with the slices of caramelized pears.
8. Finish with a few dollops of the caramelized shallots around the pizza and drizzle with olive oil.
9. Transfer the pizza to the hot oven on either a pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and cheese melts, about 7-10 minutes.
10. Once done, garnish drizzled the pizzas with aged balsamic and fresh basil leaves.
