Preparation

Step 1

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil. Whisk vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil together in bowl.

2. Roll dough into 16 by 10-inch oval on lightly floured counter, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer dough to prepared sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Brush dough with jam and sprinkle with Gorgonzola, leaving 1/2-inch border.
