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.
