Steps:
- Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- In a medium size saute pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the bacon and cook until the bacon is very crispy and all of the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan and discard. Place the pan over high heat. Add the onions to the hot bacon fat and cook until the onions are well browned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
- In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone and farmer's cheeses. Season with nutmeg and black pepper. Reserve.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough as thinly as possible, about 14 to 15-inch circle. Evenly spread the mascarpone mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, bacon, thyme, and sauteed onion. Bake until the pizza crust is nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove pizza from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, cut into slices and serve immediately.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
- In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
- Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
ONION AND SAUSAGE PIZZA
I found this in my collection of family favorites. This is served on toasted French bread. You can also use mushrooms, pepperoni and chopped green or red bell peppers.

CARAMELIZED ONION, DATE AND SAUSAGE PIZZA
ETA: Help! I need help developing this recipe. I made it but the sauce needs help. Any chefs out there willing to help me with stronger sauce ideas? Something needs to balance the sweetness of the dates a bit more. Maybe a denser balsamic-based sauce? I picked up some dates at Trader Joe's yesterday and thought they'd be really good on a pizza, so this is what I'm going to use them for this Pizza Friday. This (doubled) is The Best pizza dough to use for any pizzas and will certainly compliment mine: Recipe #301703 from I Can't Believe It's Healthy. Be sure to double or triple it. We're too wimpy for gorgonzola and don't like feta or goat cheese, but if you want to bump the sophistication level of this pie to lofty heights...

Steps:
- To caramelize the onions, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft and lightly browned.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and cook a few more minutes, then remove from heat.
- Preheat the grill to low-medium heat (or preheat your oven to 400 degrees).
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pizza crust.
- Top the onions with the chopped peppers, crumbled goat cheese, shredded provolone, and chicken.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, making sure the crust does not burn.
- Remove from the grill or oven and let set 5 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible pizza. Look for high-quality sausage, fresh basil, and a good quality mozzarella cheese.
- Caramelize the onions properly: Caramelizing the onions is an essential step in this recipe. Cook them slowly over low heat until they are deeply browned and caramelized. This will add a rich, sweet flavor to the pizza.
- Use a good quality pizza dough: You can either make your own pizza dough or use a store-bought dough. If you are using a store-bought dough, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When adding toppings to your pizza, be sure not to overcrowd it. This will make the pizza difficult to cook evenly and will result in soggy crust.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: Pizza should be baked at a high temperature in order to get a crispy crust. The ideal temperature is between 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit.
