Jo’s Pizza Recipe

Preparation and Assembly

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and knead until the dough is smooth. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

2. 2

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and the sliced onion. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto parchment paper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Pizza

   Spread fig spread evenly over the dough. Top with caramelized onions, sliced mushrooms, and crumbled goat cheese.

6. 6

   Bake the Pizza

   Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Slice and serve hot.
