Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
3
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean 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 lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Spread a thin layer of heavy cream over the dough, then crumble the Gorgonzola cheese and evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese on top.
6
Sprinkle the top with coarsely chopped walnuts and a little fresh rosemary. If desired, drizzle a touch of honey over the pizza before baking to enhance the flavors.
7
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 crisp.
8
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
