Equipment

  • large bowl
  • medium skillet
  • pizza pan
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 envelope Fleischmann’s® RapidRise Yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • cups very warm water (120° to 130°F)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 large yellow onion halved and sliced thin
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

Pizza Dough Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
  • Let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.

Caramelized Onions Preparation

  • In a medium, non-stick skillet, bring onions, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt to a boil.
  • Cover and cook until water has evaporated and the onions start to sizzle, about 8 minutes.
  • Uncover and reduce the heat to medium. Gently press the onions into the sides and bottom of the skillet.
  • Continue to cook without stirring for 30 seconds, then stir the onions and repeat, cooking for 30 seconds then stir.
  • If the onions begin to burn, add 1 tablespoon of water, as needed. Cook until the onions are well browned, about 12 minutes.

Pizza Assembly and Baking

  • Roll dough on a floured counter to a 12-inch circle.
  • Place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
  • Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.
  • Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and garlic powder.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake for 14-18 minutes until the edges are brown.
  • Top with caramelized onions and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Notes

The water temperature for the dough is crucial for activation of yeast.
