Bourbon Pear Dessert Pizza

This dessert pizza combines two of my favorite things—pizza dough and bourbon pears. The pears are slowly cooked in a buttery bourbon caramel until tender and glossy, then layered over a crisp pizza crust and finished with toasted pecans and a vanilla glaze. It feels fancy enough for company but simple enough for a cozy night at home. If you loved the flavors of my Pear Bottom Bread Pudding, you're going to love this one.
