Ingredients

Makes 6 servings (appetizer)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 pound onions (2 large), halved and thinly sliced
14 to 16 ounces pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1/4 pound Gorgonzoladolce, crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.

    Step 2

    Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.

    Step 3

    与此同时,推出面团轻轻磨碎的苏尔face with a floured rolling pin, stretching corners with your hands to form a 16- by 13-inch rectangle. (Dough will be easier to roll out as it warms.) Transfer to a large tray lined with sheet of parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork, then slide dough (on parchment) from tray onto hot baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, about 10 minutes. (Prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten.) Remove crust from oven and leave oven on.

    Step 5

    Sprinkle crust evenly with cheese, walnuts, and parsley. Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden, cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, and underside is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

  • I know this is a technical foul, and you probably already know, but you've entirely left the caramelized onions out of the "preparation" notes. I take it even a novice would know the cheese goes on top of the onions, but I've come across some pretty dense people in my life.

  • The combination just didn't work. First of all, the proportions are all wrong and it just tasted icky.
