Balsamic Onions Asparagus Goat Cheese Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the flour into a mixer with a dough hook, or a bowl. Add the yeast, salt, oil and just under 100ml warm water then mix to a soft dough. Knead in the food mixer for about 5 mins, but if making this by hand, tip onto a work surface and knead for about 10 mins. The dough is sticky, but try not to add too much extra flour. Leave in the bowl and cover with a tea towel while you make the topping. There is no need to let the dough prove for a specific time - just let it sit while you get on with the next step.
• Tip the onions into a non-stick wok and add the oil, 4 tbsp water and balsamic vinegar. Cover with a saucepan lid that sits inside the pan to help the onions soften, then cook for 15 mins, stirring about 3 times and replacing the lid quickly so as not to lose too much moisture. After the time is up, the onions should be golden and all the liquid gone. Tip onto a plate. Add the spinach and garlic to the pan and stir-fry until the spinach has wilted.
• Take the dough from the bowl and cut in half with an oiled knife, then press each piece into a 25-15 cm oval on a large greased baking sheet with oiled hands. Don't knead the dough first otherwise it will be too elastic and it will keep shrinking back.
• Spread with the spinach followed by the onions, then dot with the cheese and scatter with the olives, thyme and sunflower seeds. Bake for 15 mins until golden and the base is cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (or according to pizza crust directions on package).
• In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic until softened and golden, about 8 minutes.
• Add vinegar and sugar; stir.
• Add asparagus; cook for 3 minutes.
• Add tomato, basil, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
• Spread asparagus mixture over whole-wheat pizza crust; top with goat cheese.
• Place pizza directly on middle oven rack (for softer, chewier crust bake on cookie sheet).
• Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until crust browns.
• Broil for 2 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the oil and onions in a medium skillet and cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium and add the arugula. Cook until the arugula is wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and top each with some of the arugula/onion mixture. Crumble some goat cheese on top of each, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes and cut each pizza into 4 triangles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus with oil in medium bowl to coat. Unroll pizza dough on baking sheet, forming 9x12-inch rectangle. Spoon tomatoes over dough, leaving 3/4-inch plain border. Scatter asparagus with oil over tomatoes. Bake pizza 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Crumble goat cheese over pizza. Sprinkle with marjoram and crushed pepper. Bake until crust is golden around edges, about 9 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Cook the onions with the lid on for 10 mins, stirring every now and again, until soft and caramelised. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Season well.
• Put the pizza base on a baking sheet. Spoon the caramelised onions over the base and top with slices of goat's cheese. Bake in the oven for 5-8 mins, until the goat's cheese has melted and the base is crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Toss together the onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil the onions for 6 to 8 minutes, until soft and slightly caramelized.
• Meanwhile, place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F, or as high as your oven will go.
• Spread the marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
• Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
• Spread the onions evenly over the dough. Crumble the goat cheese and bacon on top.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
