Best Potato Goat Cheese And Green Onion Pizza Recipes

POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Prepare the dough and roll it out according to directions in basic dough recipe. While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel the potatoes, and cut them crosswise into slices 1/8-inch thick. Toss the slices with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil and place them in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until the slices are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. When the dough is rolled out, arrange the potato slices over the dough in concentric circles. Season with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese and rosemary. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top, and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

POTATO, GOAT CHEESE, CARAMELIZED ONION AND CHERRY TOMATO PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
• In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Using a fork, incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, continue to work and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly coat a clean bowl with additional olive oil and add the dough, turning once to coat the dough in oil. Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 pieces, using 1 piece for the pizza. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for another pizza.
• For the pizza: Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle that will fit on the grill pan. Add the dough to the hot grill pan and cook until stiff and bubbles start to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until grill marks form and the dough is completely cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Transfer the crust to a baking sheet and top the pizza with the onions, potatoes, tomatoes and goat cheese. Add the loaded pizza to the oven and cook until the cheese melts, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the pizza crust, place the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Add 3/4 cup lukewarm water and use a flat-bladed knife to mix until just combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a light oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
• To make the caramelized onions, heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the onion, thyme and garlic, and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 23-30 minutes, or until the onions are very soft. Add the sugar and vinegar, and increase the heat to high. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the onions start to caramelize. Set aside to cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 450°F Lightly grease two bake proof trays.
• Use your fist to pound the dough. Divide into two. Roll both portions and place on two bake proof trays.
• Spread the caramelized onions over both of the dough bases and sprinkle over the goat cheese.
• Bake the pizzas, turning the trays halfway through cooking for 15-20 minute, or until the top are golden and the bases are crisp.
