Apple and Caramelized Onion Pizza
 
 
Makes 2 8" pizzas
Ingredients
Pizza dough:
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup water
Topping:
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Fontina cheese
  • ½ Cripps Pink apple, thinly sliced
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Make the pizza dough:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt and yeast.
  2. Add water to the flour mixture, stirring everything until it comes together to form a shaggy ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rise at room temperature for 18-20 hours.
  3. Flour a work surface, scrape out the dough and divide in half. Gently and quickly shape each piece into a ball by taking the ends of the dough and folding them into the middle; place seam side down on your work surface. If you don't plan to use the dough right away, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature, covered with a damp cloth, for 2-3 hours before shaping.
Make and bake the pizza:
  1. Heat avocado olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until lightly caramelized, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in thyme.
  2. Adjust oven rack to the second-highest position and place Baking Steel on rack. Preheat oven to 500 degrees for approximately 45 minutes. (See notes)
  3. Stretch out each dough portion to an 8" circle and place on a floured pizza peel (or inverted baking sheet). If the dough is resisting, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. Spread the caramelized onion over the dough in an even layer all the way to the edges.
  5. Top with cheddar and Fontina cheese and apple slices. Season with salt and pepper. Brush edge of the dough with olive oil.
  6. Slide the pizzas onto the Baking Steel and bake for 8-9 minutes or until crust is golden.
Notes
If you don't have a Baking Steel, you can prepare and cook the pizzas on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake pizzas for about 18 minutes or until crust is golden.
