FLATBREAD PIZZA WITH BEEF, MUSHROOM, AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 550° F or as high as your oven will go.
• Over medium low heat, caramelize the onions in the butter until soft and golden brown.
• Using tongs, remove the onion to a paper towel-lined, leaving as much butter behind in the pan as possible.
• Add the mushrooms to the hot pan and brown.
• Then add the thyme to the mushrooms and stir to heat.
• Turn off the flame and begin assembling the flatbread pizzas on a section of parchment paper.
• Brush olive oil over the tops of the flatbread pieces, being careful to reach to the edges.
• Spread half of the diced garlic over each, distributing evenly.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over each.
• Then layer the onion and mushrooms.
• Drop half slices of the roast beef in small piles.
• Sprinkle some more mozzarella lightly over the roast beef.
• Lift the parchment paper with the assembled flatbread pizzas onto a cookie sheet.
• Place on the middle rack of the pre-heated oven.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and begins to turn golden brown, and the bread edges are becoming crispy, about 2-3 minutes
• Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board.
• Rest for about 3-5 minutes, then slice and serve.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS, CABRALES BLUE CHEESE AND WILD MUSHROOM FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add onions and sugar and cook slowly until soft and caramelized. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat.

Grill on one side until golden brown, turn over spread with the mozzarella, onions and mushrooms and blue cheese.

MEATY GRILLED PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Roll out the pizza dough and form into a circle. Put the dough on the grill, cook for 2 minutes and then flip with tongs. Move to a cooler spot on the grill and cook until the dough begins to pull away from the grill, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the dough to a work surface. Add the sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausage, Caramelized Onions and mushrooms and place back on the grill over indirect heat. Cook until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Garnish with basil and serve warm.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of sugar if using and toss to coat the onions. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden, about 10 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium high and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the onions begin to brown, another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• For the flatbread: In a small mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, yogurt, olive oil, rosemary and salt and mix. It might seem like the consistency is sticky, but this is okay!
• Dust a bench top with more of the flour and knead the dough until it forms a ball. If it's still sticky, add more flour to the bench. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until 1/2 centimeter (1/4 inch) in thickness.
• Heat a small splash of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Once hot, transfer the flatbread over and cook until light brown, about 2 minutes. Then flip and cook on the other side for another minute. Serve topped with one of the pizza topping combinations.

ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Press 12 ounces pizza dough into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle on a floured parchment-lined inverted baking sheet. Rub with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and 1/2 thinly sliced red onion. Slide the parchment onto a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in a 475˚ F oven; bake until browned, 9 to 11 minutes. Top with sea salt and chopped parsley.

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!

PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, RICOTTA AND CHARD

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before baking the pizza, preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender and just beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Add the thyme, garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook another 10 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are golden brown and very sweet and soft. Remove from the heat.
• While the onions are cooking, stem and wash the chard leaves, and bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the chard. Blanch for one to two minutes, just until the leaves are tender, and transfer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Alternatively, steam the chard for two to three minutes until wilted, and rinse with cold water. Chop the chard medium-fine.
• Roll out the dough, oil a 14-inch pizza pan and dust with cornmeal or semolina. Place the dough on the pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, egg yolk, Parmesan and chard. Spread over the pizza dough in an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the rim. Spread the onions over the ricotta mixture.
• Place in the hot oven, and bake 10 to 15 minutes until the crust and bits of the onion are nicely browned. Remove from the heat, and serve hot or warm.
