Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle with a little cornmeal. Set aside.

Mix the 3 cheeses together in a small bowl. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, quinoa flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Pulse a couple times to combine.

Add the water and olive oil to a glass measure and with the processor running, pour through the feed tube. Allow the dough to process for 1 minute.

Remove the dough to a floured board and cover with a medium bowl. Let rest 10-15 minutes.

Divide dough into 4 and roll or pat each ball into a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheets.

Brush with olive oil and add the pear, bacon and cheese blend.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is done to your liking. Depending on your oven, you may need to rotate the baking sheets once during cooking.
