Ingredients

2 Tbsp.
olive oil, plus more for the pan
1 lb.
pizza dough, at room temperature
1
small garlic clove, grated
1 tsp.
fresh thyme leaves, plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped
1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
3/4 tsp.
black pepper
1 1/2 cups
grated monterey jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1
firm-ripe pear, thinly sliced
1/2 cup
crumbled blue cheese (about 2 ounces)

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 425˚. Lightly brush a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Add the dough and stretch it into a very thin rectangle on the pan, about 11 by 15 inches. If the dough springs back when stretched, let it rest a few minutes and try again.
2. Step 2Mix the olive oil with the grated garlic and chopped thyme and evenly brush over the dough. Sprinkle with the salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Evenly top with the jack cheese and pear slices. Dot the blue cheese over the top and sprinkle with the thyme leaves and the remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper.
3. Step 3Bake until the crust is golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Loosen the flatbread from the pan with a metal spatula and slide onto a cutting board. Cut into pieces.
