Stinkin' Good Pizza

Or sithjawa-inspired experimental recipe posting.


Recipe:
Pizza dough (which has ideally been in the fridge for <1 week)
Caramelized onions
Blue cheese
Grated Mozzerella

Preheat oven to something hot. (~500, more and you'll start burning onion tips before the crust turns golden)

Oil a pizza pan or cookie sheet or what have you. Stretch the dough out on it. (Revisionist history: if your pizza dough is very sticky, use more oil. In general, maybe oil the top dough, since you don't really have a sauce here...). Put onions and dollops of blue cheese on in a pattern that seems pleasing. (Use enough that the topping-bits don't look lonely. It isn't as scary as you think!) Sprinkle some mozzarella on. Put in oven for a while - check after 7min or so, then every 3ish minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese looks right.

This version actually turned out to be reasonably tasty but not yet "stinkin' good". In the future I'd add pine nuts or roasted garlic if I had any, and maybe slices of tomato. A white sauce or even just some garlic salt on the crust (note: totally untested) might also be good to hold things together a bit.

Recipe inspired in part by the "Nutty Tuscan" pizza made at a place near here. That one has caramelized onions, roasted garlic, roasted plum tomato quarters, pine nuts, a zigzag of pesto and slices of mozzarella in addition to a bit of shredded mozzarella. It sounds a little overwhelming, but really works.
