CARAMELIZED ONION & FIG PIZZA

Caramelized Onion & Fig Pizza image

This is a sensational variation on traditional pizza. It's creamy, sweet and a little salty, with a buttery crunch from the pine nuts. I like to serve it with mixed baby greens salad and a vinaigrette. -Connie Balbach, Bemidji, Minnesota

Tips:

Use a variety of toppings. The great thing about pizza is that you can use whatever toppings you like. So get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
Don't be afraid to use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your pizza the best flavor. If you can, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese.
Cook your pizza at a high temperature. The higher the temperature, the crispier your pizza will be. If you have a pizza oven, cook your pizza at the highest temperature possible. If you're using a regular oven, preheat it to the highest temperature possible before baking your pizza.
Watch your pizza closely while it's cooking. Pizza can burn quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's in the oven. As soon as the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown, remove the pizza from the oven.
Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the cheese to set and prevent the toppings from falling off.

Conclusion:

Pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different topping combinations to choose from, there's sure to be a pizza that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these pizza recipes a try.
