- 1.
- For the balsamic mushrooms: Heat half of the canola oil in a saute pan on medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, powdered rosemary (if using) and a dash of salt.
- Continue to saute for 7-10 minutes until the liquid that renders from it dissolves.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and let it reduce.
- Place in a bowl and let cool.
- 2.
- For the caramelized onions: Heat the remaining half of the canola oil in a saute pan on medium-low heat.
- Add the chopped onions.
- Salt the onions at this stage because you want the salt to draw out the liquid in the onions.
- Continue to saute down until the onions turn a dark golden color.
- Depending on the pan youre using, you may have to lower the heat a little because you want the onions to cook low and slow.
- You dont want them to burn.
- This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Place in a bowl and let cool.
- 3.
- Preheat oven to 550 F. Roll and stretch out the pizza dough on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the Fontina and mozzarella over the top of the dough.
- Next, add the mushrooms on top, followed by the caramelized onions.
- 4.
- Place the pizza in the heated oven.
- Because of the high heat, start checking the pizza after 3 minutes.
- Depending on your stove, you may need to rotate the pizza to make sure that one side doesnt cook faster than the other.
- The pizza should be done within 7 minutes (or sooner).
- 5.
- Remove from the oven, take the pizza off the pan and let it cool on a cooling rack.
- 6.
