I love caramelized everything. Including caramel corn, though that didn't turn out so hot the last time I made it (typo = 3x too much salt, yuck!). This week, I grabbed a pizza crust from the freezer when I got home from work and, voila - when I got back from my ride, it was waiting for me on the counter, ready for cooking.
In an effort to lighten the amount of food that I waste, I'm trying to use what I've got - egg scrambles and pizza crust can help with that. So this week's pizza was a caramelized onion, garlic, and spinach white pizza.
The crust:
Herbed Whole Wheat Crust (freezes maybe better than it is fresh)
Proof 2 packages of yeast in 2 cups warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add 3 cups whole wheat flour, 2 cups white flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1-2 tablespoons Herbes de Provence or similar dried herbs. Stir until sticky. Knead approximately 5-8 minutes incorporating another ~1 cup white flour until it's an elastic ball. Allow to rise in an oil coated bowl for about 1 hour and divide into 4 crusts. Wrap tightly with saran wrap to freeze. Each will make a 10-12" thin crust pizza.
The toppings:
olive oil
garlic
spinach
caramelized red onion
pizza cheese
parmesan romano
Assemble and bake 15' or until done at 425 on a pizza stone dusted with cornmeal. Yum.
