Pizza Dough
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 medium red onion cut into thin slices
2-3 tablespoons dry thyme or 12 sprigs of fresh thyme
Salt and Pepper
4-6 slices of turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 Cup grated Gruyere cheese
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Brush dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes until puffed and golden. Toss onions and thyme with remaining tablespoon of olive oil add salt and pepper, 1/4 tsp of each. Top cooked dough with cheese, bacon then onion mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
Other variation. Use ham instead of bacon and Swiss cheese instead of Gruyere. Prepared the same.
I have found that the best way to make sure your dough is done when the rest of the pizza is ready is to put the dough in the oven BEFORE any toppings or sauce are added for about 5 minutes. This gives the dough a little head start.
Whit, T.J. here- it sounds awesome. Is there a comporable cheese out there? I've never even heard of gruyere.
ReplyDeleteWhit, do you have a good and easy dough recipe? We used to always make pizza when the girls were little. We just used a box mix but I'm always up for trying something new.
