Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour.
3
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Brush the dough with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and gorgonzola.
6
Evenly distribute the chopped dried figs, apricots, and raisins over the top.
7
Sprinkle with coarsely chopped walnuts and a little fresh rosemary. If desired, drizzle a little honey over the pizza before baking to enhance the flavors.
8
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the crust is crispy.
9
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs.
