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 possible heat.
- Form the pizza dough into a ball. Start by making a circular motion with the palm of your hand, applying some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put your pizza dough ball on a lightly floured work surface. Dust it with a little more flour, and let it proof, covered with a kitchen towel, for another 15 minutes.
- Shape your dough into a large, thin disk and place it in a pizza pan.
- Put the tomato purée (passata) on top of your pizza dough, in the middle. With the back of a spoon or a ladle, using circular motions toward 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 with dried oregano and salt.
- Add your mozzarella cheese. Just tear it into bite-size pieces and place them over the tomato sauce.
- Crumble the Gorgonzola on top of your pizza in pieces about 1 teaspoon in size.
- Heap the caramelized red onions on top of the other toppings.
- Transfer your Gorgonzola pizza to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned.
