Home made pizza is a great replacement for Dominos, is healthier, and will cost quite a bit less! To be honest, I was going to save pizza for another day, but we had this last week and it was so pretty and yummy and wonderful- Well, I had to share! I hope you enjoy the simple prep and yummy-ness as much as we did! Pairs great with a light salad ;)
Servings: 2-4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb pre or homemade pizza dough
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup pear, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Set oven to 450 degrees. Slice the pear and onion and mix the pear with lemon juice so the pears maintain color. Set aside and heat a skillet over medium/high heat. Add in olive oil and thinly sliced onions. Wait until onions begin to cook, then add in sugar. You may need to turn heat down at this point. Wait until onions are cooked, 5 minutes, then add in balsamic. Reduce for another 5-10 minutes until caramelized. Be sure to take skillet off heat when adding the balsamic, things could get messy. Once cooked, take off heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, knead pizza dough, mixing in the honey as you knead. Separate the dough into two equal sized lumps. Flatten dough into pizza pies that are about 1/8 an inch thick. I usually use a roller to get them thin. Do not worry about them being perfectly circular either, mine never are.
Once pizza is ready, place the pear and onions on the dough. Keep a few pears to be placed over the cheese. Add the cheese onto the pizza and a few pears to the top of the cheese. Cook on baking sheet for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the pizza should be firm enough to remove the baking sheet. Cook without baking sheet another 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
