- Remove flatbread from the oven and maintain oven temperature. Dollop the brie around on the flatbread and spread as evenly as you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Notes
Cooking Tips
Don’t use fully ripe pears. They’ll be mush after baking. Look for pears that are just beginning to ripen where they yield slightly when pressed around the stem. If they are very firm it could take 3-6 days to be at the right stage.
If slicing the pears in advance, soak them in cold honey water, 2 tablespoons honey to 1 cup water. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
To grill instead of roasting, preheat grill over medium to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil. Place flatbread top side down on grates and grill covered for 2 minutes. Flip crust over and place toppings on. Grill covered until crust is crisp and cheese is melted and bubbly, 3-5 minutes.
Storing & Reheating
Wrap leftover pizza slices in aluminum foil and refrigerate up to 3 days. The pears may turn a little brown but that’s ok. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe because moisture in the fruit will make the pizza soggy when thawed.
The best way to reheat pizza is in the oven. Preheat to 375-400 degrees F and open the foil so the slices get hot and crispy without steaming. Bake 5-10 minutes until they’re done to your liking.
