Caramelized Onion Brie Pizza Food

CARAMELIZED ONION WITH BRIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare the Homemade Pizza Dough according to directions.
• Preheat Oven to 425°F.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick, allow to rest about a minute. Then place on pizza stone or baking sheet.
• In a large skillet, heat the Olive Oil over medium high heat. Add the sliced Onions and saute for 5 - 8 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Set aside.
• Spread the Fig Preserves over pizza base, leaving a border around the edge. Top with the sauteed Onions, add "pinches" of the creamy Brie cheese all over. Sprinkle on the fresh Thyme leaves and Black Pepper, to taste.
• Bake in the 425°F pre-heated oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and pizza crust is started to turn golden.
• Garnish with additional fresh Thyme, if desired.

PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a medium size saute pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the bacon and cook until the bacon is very crispy and all of the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan and discard. Place the pan over high heat. Add the onions to the hot bacon fat and cook until the onions are well browned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
• In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone and farmer's cheeses. Season with nutmeg and black pepper. Reserve.
• On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough as thinly as possible, about 14 to 15-inch circle. Evenly spread the mascarpone mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, bacon, thyme, and sauteed onion. Bake until the pizza crust is nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pizza from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, cut into slices and serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
• In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
• Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
• Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

BRIE AND CARAMELIZED ONION PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F.
• Flour a counter or other surface and spread out the pizza dough. (You can use homemade or store bought dough, either whole wheat or white. Its up to you!) Use your hands and/or a rolling pin to stretch and flatten the dough until it is as thin as you like. (But this kind of pizza is best on thin crust.) Use a docker, if you have one, to get rid of any air bubbles. Now, spread your dough on a baking tray and place it in the oven for about 10 minutes.
• While the dough is baking, place the olive oil and onions in a pan over low heat and cook for a few minutes. Then, add the brown sugar and cook for a few more minutes or until the onions are clear and beginning to brown. Then toss in the almonds and cook for just a few minutes longer. Remove from heat.
• Now, slice the brie into large circles and set aside.
• Once the dough is close to being cooked, remove it from the oven. Place the brie on top of the pizza dough and then the onions and the almonds. Place the pizza back in the oven for another ten to 15 minutes or until the crust is crispy and light brown.
