Blue Cheese Mozzarella and Walnut Pizza

I was in Lincoln, Nebraska in June for work and one of the nights we went to place called Yia Yia's that is famous for their unique style of pizza and beer selection (over 400 types, most of which are foreign).  I had a chocolate beer that was well interesting to say the least.  Anyway the slice I ordered was called the "Frenchie," it had mozzarella and blue cheeses on it with walnuts and olive oil.  Though it sounded a little weird I thought ok I love cheese I love walnuts and I love olive oil so it has to be good, and boy was it!  I decided I would find a way to make it at home otherwise I was going to have to make a trip back to Lincoln to see my buddy Kirk and get a slice at Yia Yia's.  The recipe follows below, enjoy this Just Good Food!


Recipe:

For the pizza dough click here
There are some changes however to the dough (the first picture is what the yeast should look like when mixed with the warm water)
I used whole wheat flour for the crust
I added 1/2 tbsp of red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tbsp oregano
and 2 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup blue cheese
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp parmesan cheese


Directions:

Follow the pizza dough recipe exactly from the link (add the extra ingredients once you have kneaded the dough and before you wait for it to rise).
Once you have let the dough sit for 30-45 minutes, place some flour on a countertop and role out the pizza dough.  Once it is rolled to your thickness (I prefer thinner for this type of pizza) take your pan (grease it up even if it is non-stick because they LIE) and fit the dough in the pan.
First, brush olive oil lightly on the crust then generously evenly spread the mozzarella and blue cheese on the crust (it might not look like this is enough cheese but it will melt and be more than plenty.  Add the walnuts and oregano and I usually grate parmesan on the edge of the crust!
Place in an oven at 400 for about 10 minutes and it should be ready to go.  Be careful here as the cheese will melt quickly but you want to make sure the crust is done so "tooth-pick" it to make sure it is done (if dough sticks to the pick it isn't done yet).

Let stand and cool for a few minutes cut into triangles, squares, circles or whatever shape your heart desires and eat away!  Share this delicious pizza and your friends will love you!  Let me know what you think!!  Love, Peace, and Just Good Food!
