Week 46: Caramelized Onion and Prosciutto Pizza

Another one of Pioneer Woman's great recipes.

We made a few adjustments. We substituted some Provel cheese for a little of the Mozzarella, and we used a premade pizza crust from the refrigerated section.

The flavors of this pizza were really yummy. The sweet caramelized onions with the salty cheese and prosciutto. My only complaint was that the toppings kept falling off of the pizza when I took a bite.

INGREDIENTS
1 whole pizza crust
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 whole large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
¼ cups brown sugar
Kosher salt to taste
Parmesan cheese, grated
10 ounces, weight fresh Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
8 slices Prosciutto (more to taste)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and brown sugar and toss/stir for several minutes, or until onions are brown and cooked. Set aside.

Roll out pizza dough to a rectangular shape. Drizzle on olive oil, sprinkle on a little salt, followed by a little Parmesan.

Lay slices of mozzarella evenly over the top of the crust. Arrange caramelized onions over the top of the mozzarella. Randomly lay slices of prosciutto over the onions.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the lower half of the oven, or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and cut into squares. Serve immediately.
