Pizza

One of my favorite pizzas is topped with prosciutto, arugula and shredded parmesan. Sadly, after going to the grocery store 3 times this week I couldn't come up with the arugula. So instead I scoured the internet to find other toppings that would go well with the prosciutto I already purchased. I came up with caramelized onions. The internet promised it would be tasty.

So to make this pizza I bought Pillsbury pizza dough. (If I was in NY I would just run to the bakery and pick up fresh pizza dough. Sadly they don't do that here.) I spread the dough out on a greased pizza pan and popped it in the oven for 5 minutes. While that baked a chopped an onion and threw it into a pan with butter and a teaspoon of sugar. I also blended the tomatoes for the sauce. I took the crust out of the oven spread tomato puree over it and added chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Then I added shredded Fontina cheese and popped it back in the oven for 10 minutes. During that time I kept stirring the onions. Once the pizza was done I topped it with the caramelized onions and laid the strips of proscuitto over that.

It was delicious. Like I ate the entire pizza in one sitting delicious. I still am craving the arugula and prosciutto pizza- it's much lighter. The caramelized onions make this repice very rich. But if you're in the mood for rich, it will not disappoint!
