Auberge Chorizo, Goat's Cheese and Onion Pizza - Thin Crust image

This is the pizza I make the most often at home. It has a thin pizza crust base, which we all prefer, and all our favourite toppings! Try to use high quality Chorizo sausage for this; also, fresh goat's cheese without a rind is the best. When I have time, I like to caramelise the onions first by frying them in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar - try it as an option. It also works well with ready made onion confit/onion jam as a topping. The sauce used and shown in my photoes, is Leggy Peggy's wonderful Recipe #210246.

Time 32m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

7 g dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup of lukewarm water
1 3/4 cups of unbleached strong plain bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced thinly
5 ounces goat's cheese, sliced thinly
1 red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 -4 tablespoons tomato paste or 2 -4 tablespoons tomato sauce, of your choice
2 teaspoons capers (optional)
2 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped finely (optional)
2 ounces grated mozzarella cheese (optional)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
oregano

Steps:

  • Combine the dry yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 3/4 cups of lukewarm water. Mix a little and let sit for 6-8 minutes.
  • Combine 1 3/4 cups of unbleached strong plain bread flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl or food processor.
  • Pour the water combination into the bowl (or food processor) and mix until ready to knead (around 30 second in a food processor). If using a bowl, mix with a spoon, and your hands until you have a neat ball.
  • Prepare a lightly sprinkled surface with flour. Turn out dough and knead for around 2-3 minutes. Lightly cover your finger tips with flour if the mixture is a little sticky.
  • Roll out by hand for a 12'' base.
  • Place in 12'' lightly oiled oven pan. Press out dough to form a slight lip.
  • Spread your tomato puree or tomato sauce on top of the pizza dough. Then carefully arrange all the other toppings on top of the paste/sauce, putting the goat's cheese on last. (Or the mozzarella cheese if using.).
  • (Note - if you wish to caramelise your onions first, fry them in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar until glazed, soft and slightly sticky. Ready made Onion Confit or Onion Jam also works very well.).
  • Cook in a preheated over 250°C/495°F for 8-12 minutes (times may vary based on different ovens. Fan assisted oven will be quicker!).
  • Remove from oven, slice and share with your favourite friends and/or family members, keeping an extra slice for yourself!

I made this pizza with my kids and they loved it. It's a great way to get them involved in the cooking process.

This pizza is a bit spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you might want to use less chorizo.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. It was still really good.

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover chorizo. I always have some leftover after I make tacos, so this is a great way to put it to use.

I'm not a big fan of thin crust pizza, so I used a pre-made pizza crust instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. I love that it's so easy to make and that I can use ingredients that I already have on hand.

I added some chopped red bell pepper to the pizza and it was delicious. I think next time I'll try adding some sliced mushrooms, too.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, so I used Italian sausage instead. The pizza still turned out great!

This pizza is so flavorful and delicious. The chorizo adds a nice spicy kick, while the goat cheese and onions provide a creamy and tangy balance. The thin crust is also a nice touch, as it makes the pizza light and airy.

The instructions were easy to follow and the pizza turned out perfectly. I especially liked the tip about using a pizza stone to get a crispy crust.

This pizza was a hit with my family! The flavors of the chorizo, goat cheese, and onion were perfectly balanced, and the thin crust was crispy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
