CARAMELIZED ONION WITH BRIE PIZZA

Steps:

CARAMELIZED ONION & BRIE PIZZA

BRIE AND PEAR PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat pizza stone in 400F oven at least 30 minutes.
• For onions, melt butter with oil in large skillet on medium heat. Stir in onions, salt and pepper. Cook stirring often, 5 minutes or until starting to brown. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes, until golden brown and very tender. Stir in vinegar. Turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder. Cool to room temperature. Makes 1 1/4 cups.
• For pizza, cut dough into 3 pieces. On floured surface, press 1 piece of dough into 8 inch round. Transfer to pizza peel covered in parchment. Spread with about 1/3 caramelized onions. Brush exposed edges with oil. Put 1/3 of pear slices over onions, arranging like spokes on wheel. Arrange 1/3 of brie slices in between pear spokes.
• Slide pizza on parchment onto pizza stone. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until bottom is crisp, brie is golden and pears are tender. Garnish with chives. Repeat with remaining dough, onions, pear, brie and chives. (You will have some onions left over).

APPLE, HONEY & CARAMELIZED ONION FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• First, the long part requiring patience: make the caramelized onions for your pizza. Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly. Cook over medium until the onions become translucent. Then turn down the heat and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until golden and irresistibly fragrant. Remove from heat. That was the hard part!
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Assemble your pizza: spray your your pan/stone lightly with cooking oil, then sprinkle it scantly with the cornmeal. Spread your prepared pizza dough over this in a circle (or awkward oval like mine). Top this with your caramelized onions. Next arrange the apple slices--I did a mix of finely sliced "honey crisp" and "granny smith" apple, using just a bit less than one apple total. Top the apple layer with the cheeses: first the brie, then just a bit of mozzarella, then the parmesan. Drizzle the pizza lightly with a good honey. Then sprinkle artistically with parsley because you've now committed to this strange pizza.
• Cook this in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is slightly crisp and the cheeses begin to turn golden-brown. Enjoy!
• Tip: a sprinkle of crushed red peppers or drizzle of extra honey and sriracha never hurts!
