Spring Onion Pizzas
Onions are an easy way to add a punch of flavor and zest with minimal effort, and versatile enough to use in any number of classic dishes. This spring onion pizza matches the sweetness and tenderness of the spring onion with the crunch and stringy mozzarella of a traditional pizza for a completely new take on everyone’s favorite meal.
Ingredients
Instructions:
- Prepare the homemade pizza dough.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- On a lightly floured flat surface, divide the dough into 2 balls, and roll each into a 10-inch (25-cm) oval shape. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the pizzas on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
- On a plate, toss the spring onions with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the minced garlic and brush onto the dough.
- Top the pizza dough with the mozzarella slices and spring onion strips.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the pizza crust is golden brown.
- Top the pizzas with the chopped herbs and a few pinches of red pepper flakes.
