This is a pizza I make a lot. It might not satisfy that “I want pizza” craving because there is no tomato, no mozzarella, it’s not really “pizza-y.” But it will satisfy those of you who love salty sweet and crunchy. Actually it’s really delicious and makes a great appetizer if you cut it in pieces, or a nice lunch or dinner if you serve it with a salad. This is from Peter Reinhart’s American Pie, which (and whom) I have already gone on and on about in the Onion Marmalade post. . .
You need pizza dough. . . I usually use Artisan Bread in Five’s master recipe or semolina dough. Today I’m using their Healthy Bread in Five’s whole grain master recipe, because that’s what’s in my refrigerator. The next step is the Onion Marmalade, that needs to have been made a little while (to a few weeks) in advance.
After you have these two components it’s really simple.
Roll out the dough
spread it with onion marmalade – be generous
crumble on gorgonzola (or blue, or creamy chevre)
top with some walnuts
Bake, I always put the dough onto parchment paper before I top it, then bake it on the paper. If you remember you can slide it out about halfway through baking. . . if not, it’s no big deal. I bake on a baking stone in my oven at around 45o. You can bake on a cookie sheet, but the crust won’t be as crisp.
Cut
Eat.
mmm. . . you need some red wine with this.
