The first time I made this pizza, I caramelized the onions the day before. I made the pizza dough and precooked it (3 minutes) it in the morning. We went skiing for the day and when we came home, with most of the work done, all I had to do was place the toppings on and bake it. Very delicious pizza and hard to beat after a day of skiing.
Yield: 2 large pizzas
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (I bought shredded mozzarella)
- 2 prepared whole wheat pizza dough, or store bought
- 3 large red onions, sliced
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 4 oz arugula
- 11 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup reduced balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to 425F.
Caramelize onions in olive oil (can do ahead a day or two before)
Prepare pizza dough and pre-cook for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
Place 1 lb of shredded cheese over each pizza followed by the caramelized onions and crumbled goat cheese.
Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes. When baked, top the pizzas with arugula and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
