Caramelized Onion Date And Sausage Pizza Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND CARAMELIZED PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough:
• To a bowl add the warm water, honey and olive oil. Mix until the honey is dissolved.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl. While drizzling in the water, mix with a fork until the dough comes together. If it is too dry, add a little more water until it holds together to form a ball. You can switch to using your hands.
• Flour your counter and turn out the dough. Knead, sprinkling lightly with flour so it doesn't stick to your hands. Knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky.
• Coat the mixing bowl with a little oil and put the dough back in the bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a warm place. This can be the microwave or oven (both turned off) for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest after kneading and make it easier to roll and keep the dough tender. Remove from the oven after 30 minutes.
• Position the oven rack on the top ¾ portion of the oven and preheat to 450°F/230°C.
• Place the dough onto a 12-inch (31 cm) round pizza pan or large baking sheet. Use your hands to press into a pizza shape.
• For the toppings:
• Spread the mozzarella all over, top with the cherry tomatoes, crumble the Italian sausage all over and finish with an even layer of caramelized onions.
• Bake for 20 until the crust is golden brown and the sausage is cooked.

• In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add sliced onion, salt and sugar. Cook onions for about 20 minutes or until they become caramel in color and are soft. Be sure to stir onions every 5 minutes to prevent them from burning and sticking to the pan. Add vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking, stir until liquid has evaporated.
• In a separate skillet, cook crumbled Italian sausage until completely browned. Top pizza with sausage, shredded cheese, onions, rosemary and oregano. Cook 10-12 minutes or until edges have browned.

• Roll out pizza dough to a 14 to 16" round {depending on your baking sheet/pizza stone size}, and place on baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Bake dough for 5 mins. Carefully remove crust from oven.
• Top with a thin-ish layer of marinara to within 1/2-inch of the dough edge.
• Then top with sausage and almost all the onions. Sprinkle pizza evenly with cheese, and the remaining onions.

Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Spread the onion mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped basil. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve.

• Remove coins, but leave the fat in the pan and add sweet onion rings to pan. Carmelize onions by cooking 8-10 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently.
• Add dates during last 3 or so minutes of cooking to heat through. Remove and pat with paper towels to absorb some of the oil.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND GORGONZOLA PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spread half the tomato sauce onto 1 of the crusts. Top with half the caramelized onions and half the mozzarella. Repeat with the other crust. Bake the pies until the mozzarella is browned and bubbling, about 10 to 15 minutes. As soon as the pies come out of the oven, sprinkle over the gorgonzola. Slice and serve.

CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, FIGS, BACON AND BLUE CHEESE

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.
