Brie, Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza
 
 
Makes 1 pizza
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:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 ounces double cream brie cheese, cut into small pieces
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 and scrape out the dough. Gently and quickly shape it 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.
Prepare topping:
  1. Heat 1½ tablespoons olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and rosemary, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallot, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the mushrooms are tender and juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and stir in parsley.
Make and bake the pizza:
  1. 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)
  2. Stretch out dough to the desired shape and thickness and place on a floured pizza peel (or inverted baking sheet). If the dough is resisting, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Drizzle with remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil. Spread caramelized onions over the dough in an even layer all the way to the edges.
  4. Top with mushrooms and brie. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Slide the pizza onto the Baking Steel and bake for 8-9 minutes or until crust is golden. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown top, if desired.
Notes
If you don't have a Baking Steel, you can prepare and cook the pizza on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake pizza for about 18 minutes or until crust is golden.
