Gorgonzola Pizza With Caramelized Red Onions
A family favorite homemade pizza with authentic Italian flavors
Ingredients
- 10 oz pizza dough 280 g
- 4 tbsp tomato purée (passata) 66 g
- extra virgin olive oil a few drops
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 ½ oz fresh mozzarella cheese 125 g
- 3 oz Gorgonzola cheese 85 g, about 5 tbsp
Caramelized red onions half the recipe
Instructions
- Prepare the caramelized red onions and preheat your oven to the highest heat possible.
- Form a ball from the pizza dough. Start by making a circular motion with the palm of your hand, with some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put your pizza dough balls on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with some more flour, and let them proof covered with a kitchen towel for another 15 minutes.
- Shape your dough to form a large, thin disk and place it in a pizza pan.
- Put your tomato purée (passata) on top of your pizza dough, in the middle. With a back of a spoon or a ladle, using circular motions towards the edges, make sure the tomato covers your pizza dough. Leave an edge about 1 inch (2-3 cm) thick.
- Drizzle a few drops of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some dried oregano and salt.
- Add your mozzarella cheese. Just tear it in bite size pieces, and place them over the tomato sauce.
- Crumble the Gorgonzola on top of your pizza, in about 1 teaspoon size pieces.
- Heap the caramelized red onions on top of the other toppings.
- Transfer your Gorgonzola pizza into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned.
