Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store bought
- 2 tbsp peach preserves
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella, shredded
- 1 cup gouda cheese, shredded
- fresh basil and black pepper, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees for at least 15 minutes, but preferably an hour.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and reduced. Add the garlic and oregano and heat an additional minute, then stir in the cider vinegar and red pepper flakes. Cook 5 minutes more until very soft.
- Push, roll, and press the pizza dough into a 12-16 inch circle. Set onto a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the peach jam on the bottom, then dollop the ricotta and swirl into the jam. Sprinkle on the onions, then layer the cheeses. Top with any onions leftover.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Slice and serve hot with fresh basil and black pepper, as desired.
