Ingredients

• 16 ounces prepared pizza dough at room temperature, divided into two 

• 8 ounces Roquefort or other good quality blue cheese, crumbled 

• 10 dates, sliced lengthwise down the middle 

• 2 shallots, thinly sliced into rings 

• 4 to 6 sage leaves, torn 

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling 

• Red pepper flakes for serving, optionals

  Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

  • Shape the pizza dough into 9 to 10-inch rounds and transfer to a large, lightly oiled rimmed sheet pan.

  • Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon olive oil and bake until the dough starts to turn golden, about 5 to 6 minutes.

  • 
    Remove from the oven and evenly scatter the blue cheese over top of the pizzas, followed by the shallots, dates and the sage leaves.

  • Drizzle remaining olive oil over top.

  • Bake, rotating the baking pan halfway through, until the blue cheese begins to bubble, and the sage leaves are slightly crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Season with red pepper flakes, should you like.
