Ingredients for Beet Onion Pizza W Goat Cheese

  • Cooked Beets
  • Yellow Sweet Onion
  • Garlic Clove
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • Fontina Cheese
  • 1 (12-inch) circle of Neapolitan pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

How to Make Beet Onion Pizza W Goat Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) or prepare your pizza oven.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until lightly browned (about 1 minute).
  3. Add 1 cup of diced cooked beets and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onions to the pan.
  4. Reduce heat to low and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove the beets and onions from the pan with a slotted spoon, reserving the garlic butter.
  6. Prepare your pizza dough (about 12-inch circle). If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature.
  7. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel lightly dusted with semolina flour.
  8. Spread the reserved garlic butter evenly over the pizza dough using the back of a spoon.
  9. Scatter 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese over the dough.
  10. Evenly distribute the cooked beets and onions over the goat cheese.
  11. Top with 1/2 cup of shredded fontina or Parmesan cheese.
  12. Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated pizza stone or oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
