Pizza with Gorgonzola
Description
The pastry is quick and easy to make. If you like, you can add black olives, green olives, or capers to the filling; sun-dried tomatoes also work well. The tomato sauce should not have a strong, punchy flavor—it should not overpower the taste and aroma of the gorgonzola. You can serve it with tea or coffee.
