Description
A simple pizza recipe featuring creamy goat cheese and sweet caramelized onions on a thin crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough ball (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup fresh arugula
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and pizza stone (if using) to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and deeply browned.
- Stir the sugar into the caramelized onions during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat.
- Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or on a baking sheet.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a one-inch border.
- Scatter the crumbled goat cheese over the onions.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is soft.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with fresh arugula. Season with pepper.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, place the dough directly on a preheated pizza stone.
- If you do not have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until it thickens slightly.
