Potato and Caramelized Onion Pizza
This is more of a pissaladière than a pizza, but that's just semantics!
Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough
2 lbs onion, sliced thinly
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 lb potatoes, any variety, cut into 1/4" thick coins
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg yolk
2 oz blue cheese
Method
- Allow the dough to come to room temperature for at least an hour before baking
- Heat oven to 400F
- In a frying pan, heat a knob of butter over medium heat until melted
- Add the onions and thyme leaves with a big pinch of salt and allow the onions to cook until deeply caramelized
- Remove from the pan and add 1/2 cup water and the potatoes
- Cover the pan and allow the potatoes to steam until just tender (by the time the water is evaporated, they should be ready)
- Whisk together the sour cream and egg to make an even sauce
- Place a big frying pan or baking sheet into the oven
- Stretch the dough to be 1/2 inch thick
- Spoon the sour cream mixture all over, top with the caramelized onions, and lay the potatoes all over
- Crumble the blue cheese over the top and finish with several grinds of black pepper
- Place in the oven and bake until the dough is cooked through, checking and rotating after 7 minutes
- Remove and serve with a big green salad
