Fresh Fig Caramelized Onion And Goat Cheese Gourmet Pizza Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the pizza crust, place the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Add 3/4 cup lukewarm water and use a flat-bladed knife to mix until just combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a light oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
• To make the caramelized onions, heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the onion, thyme and garlic, and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 23-30 minutes, or until the onions are very soft. Add the sugar and vinegar, and increase the heat to high. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the onions start to caramelize. Set aside to cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 450°F Lightly grease two bake proof trays.
• Use your fist to pound the dough. Divide into two. Roll both portions and place on two bake proof trays.
• Spread the caramelized onions over both of the dough bases and sprinkle over the goat cheese.
• Bake the pizzas, turning the trays halfway through cooking for 15-20 minute, or until the top are golden and the bases are crisp.
