Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 large pear
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions to the pan along with the sugar, and cook while stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make handling easier.
Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Distribute the caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
Thinly slice the pear and lay the slices evenly over the pizza. Tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces and scatter them across the top.
Add crumbled goat cheese evenly over the pizza. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pear and Prosciutto Pizza with Caramelized Onions!
