Directions
Step 1 | |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). | |

Sprinkle a large sheet of parchment or wax paper and the pizza dough with a bit of flour and roll out to fit the size and shape of your baking sheet. Transfer the rolled dough to the baking sheet. | |

In a small bowl, heat the preserves and water in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds. Add another tablespoon of water if the preserves don't seem loose enough to brush onto the dough then stir in the thyme leaves. | |

Brush the preserves onto the pizza dough, sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese, add the sausage, apples, dates, Gorgonzola, and the remaining mozzarella cheese, then top with the pecans. | |
