PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, FIGS, BACON AND BLUE CHEESE



Pizza With Caramelized Onions, Figs, Bacon and Blue Cheese image

Here is a recipe for pizza that calls to mind - at least this mind - the joys of car travel through southeastern France, where pizzas such as this are available at all the imaginary cafes in small towns near the Italian border. It certainly tastes as if it comes from that region and, if you close your eyes as you eat it, you can almost imagine yourself halfway through a drive from Aix to Turin. The time spent caramelizing the onions is more than worth it, so do it the day before you intend to make the pie. Which is when, as it happens, you should make the dough as well. And we have a recipe for that as well - a version adapted from the team behind the magical Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn.

Categories     dinner, pizza and calzones, times classics, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 large Spanish onion
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
4 thick slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch thick batons
1 ball pizza dough
Flour, for dusting surface
12 dried mission figs, stems trimmed, cut into quarters or small pieces
3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • At least 45 minutes before cooking, preheat the oven and pizza stone to 550 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the onions, thyme and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions begin to wilt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and turn a deep, golden brown, about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves and transfer the onions to a small bowl.
  • Place the bacon in the pan and set over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a small bowl.
  • Place the pizza dough on a heavily floured surface and stretch and pull, using your hands or a rolling pin, into about a 14-inch round. Place on a lightly floured pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Cover with the toppings, careful not to press on the dough and weigh it down: the caramelized onions first, then the figs and bacon, and finally the Gorgonzola, leaving roughly a 1/2 inch border. Shake the pizza peel slightly to make sure the dough is not sticking. Carefully slide the pizza directly onto the baking stone in one quick, forward-and-back motion. Cook until the crust has browned on the bottom and the top is bubbling and browning in spots, about 7 minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and some cracked black pepper. Serve hot. Makes 1 pizza.

CARAMELIZED ONION, GORGONZOLA, AND ROSEMARY PIZZA



Caramelized Onion, Gorgonzola, and Rosemary Pizza image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1-tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 cup softened butter
Basic Pizza Dough, recipe follows
10 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup warm tap water (100 to 115 degrees)
1 package active dry yeast
3 to 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan over high heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and rosemary, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add butter and lower heat and continue to caramelize for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Spread the pizza dough with the onion mixture and scatter Gorgonzola over top. Bake in a pizza oven or a preheated 400 degree oven until lightly golden and the crust is browned, about 20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
  • Pour the water onto a medium--sized mixing bowl and add the yeast, stirring with a fork until dissolved. The water should turn a light beige color. Add 1 cup of flour and the salt. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add the second cup of flour and repeat. The dough should start coming away from the sides of the bowl, forming a soft, sticky mass. Take the last cup of flour and sprinkle over a clean, dry work surface and flour your hands well.Take the dough from the bowl and begin to work in the additional flour a little at a time. Use the heel of your hand to knead the dough and push across the work surface, clenching the dough with your fist and twisting it over. Use a dough scraper to help gather any wet dough that sticks to the surface while you are kneading. Also only add as much flour as it takes to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. When the dough no longer feels sticky, push the heel of your hand down into it and hold it there for 10 seconds. If the dough comes up clean, it's ready. If it sticks you will have to knead it a bit more.
  • Lightly oil a 2 quart bowl with vegetable oil, and roll the ball of dough around the bowl to coat it with a thin film of oil, then tightly seal the bowl with plastic wrap. Keep in a warm place, and let the dough rise for 30 to 45 minutes. When dough doubles in size, remove from bowl and punch it down with your fist to deflate, then knead it again for about a minute. Dough is now ready to stretch into a round, or press into a pizza pan.
  • Note: If you have a food processor with a dough hook attachment, you can make the dough much faster. Start by adding the yeast and water first and mixing well. Then add all the flour and salt and mix into a ball. Then rise the dough.

CARAMELIZED ONION BACON PIZZA



Caramelized Onion Bacon Pizza image

Caramelized onions, bacon, apple butter, and Gouda cheese come together to create this deliciously different pizza.

Provided by Allrecipes Member

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup MUSSELMAN'S® Apple Butter
1 (15-inch) unbaked pizza crust (or store-bought refrigerated pizza dough)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 pinch Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 pinch Pinch red pepper flakes
6 slices cooked bacon, roughly chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Gouda cheese
⅓ cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 cups baby arugula to finish, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet or cast iron skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter over medium heat. Add onions. Toss onions to coat.
  • Let onions cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, give the onions a stir and add a pinch of salt. Let onions cook for another 5-7 minutes, without stirring.
  • At this point, remove skillet from heat momentarily, and add balsamic vinegar. Stir to incorporate. Place skillet back onto heat and continue cooking until onions are caramelized and broken down, about another 10 minutes or so. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to build pizza.
  • Place unbaked pizza crust on a cookie sheet or pizza stone and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Evenly spread apple butter over crust and sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the apple butter. Spread caramelized onions over apple butter, and then sprinkle chopped bacon and pecans evenly over the onions. Top with shredded Gouda. Place in oven (still at 450 degrees F) and bake for an additional 8-12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and browning.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice pizza and top each slice with fresh baby arugula to finish.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions slowly over medium heat. This will allow them to caramelize without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the onions will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Stir the onions occasionally. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Be patient. Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to 45 minutes to get them to the perfect golden brown color.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your pizza a more complex flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the toppings. The more toppings you add, the more delicious your pizza will be.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the pizza is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion pizza with gorgonzola, bacon, and arugula is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With its sweet and savory flavors, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
