Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 prepared pizza dough
1 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tsp
1 sweet onion, sliced
Pinch of salt, pepper, and sugar
6 fresh figs, halved
4 oz goat cheese
½ - ¾ cup shredded mozzarella
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Steps:

Heat 1 tsp of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, add onions, salt, pepper, and sugar and cook, stir to combine. Cook onions slowly for about an hour stirring every 10 minutes or so, after initial 10 minutes reduce heat to medium-low. Once onions have reduced to about a third and are a nice caramel color, set aside. Preheat pizza stone in oven at 450 degrees. Stretch pizza dough and prepare pizza on a well floured (or cornmeal) surface. Spread 1 tbsp of olive oil on crust, cover with a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, crumble goat cheese over pizza, top with onions, and sliced figs-cut side up. Bake 15 minutes until crust is golden brown. Top with fresh rosemary right out of the oven.
