This pizza gets its sweetness from caramelized onions and fig jam. Savory highlights include peppery baby arugula, garlic, thyme and freshly ground black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 4
- 3 1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 sweet onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp Thyme, fresh
- 3/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 12 tbsp Fig Jam
- 1/8 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (100% Stone Ground)
- 16 oz Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
- 3/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 oz Baby Arugula
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
DIRECTIONS
1
Place a stick-resistant large rimmed baking pan in 500°F oven to preheat. (NOTE: The fig jam may drip over the edges of the pizza crust, so a rimmed baking sheet works best.)
2
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large stick-resistant skillet over medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook while stirring occasionally until lightly caramelized, about 18 minutes. Stir in the thyme and salt. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
3
In a small bowl, stir together jam, such as Divina Fig Spread, and 1 tablespoon of oil; set aside.
4
Lightly flour a clean kitchen surface. Shape dough with a rolling pin into an oval-shaped crust, about 8-inches by 15-inches.
5
Carefully transfer the prepared dough to the preheated baking sheet. (Hint: Gently roll up dough over a rolling pin, then unfold onto the baking sheet.) Quickly spread with fig jam mixture, sprinkle with the pepper, and evenly top with the lightly caramelized onions.
6
Bake until the crust is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes.
7
Toss together the baby arugula, balsamic vinegar, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil.
8
Slice pizza crosswise into 4 large pieces, top with the dressed arugula, and serve.
