Onion & Yogurt Pizza Recipe
1 standard pizza dough
½ cup olive oil
3 yellow onions sliced
1 pound russian yogurt
½ cup romano cheese
salt
pepper
Day 1 - Drain the yogurt &
Caramelized the Onions
In the refrigerator, strain the whey from the yogurt. I recommend using
a piece of cheese cloth in a fine strainer over a 5 ½ quart sauce
pan. The goal of this process is to get the curd from the yogurt, which
is a crude form of cheese. The next day, you should have a crumbly (yet
moist) cheese type substance.
Put sliced onions in a dutch oven (preferably cast iron) and drench
with olive oil. If you are feeling jaunty, you can also use flavored
dipping oils. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, at 475°F for
2-3 hours or until burnt and goopy. The burnter and goopier the better
as long as they are not too dry.
Day 2 - Make the Pizza Pie
Form the dough into the desired shape, slather with oil and cook untopped
at 415°F for 5-7 minutes. Remove the dough and top with caramelized
onions, yogurt cheese and romano. Cook at 415°F for another 7-10
minutes or until crust reaches desired brownness. Remove from the oven
and let stand for 2-4 minutes.
Enjoy your healthy caramelized onion
and yogurt pizza recipe!
