]]> http://pizzarecipes.findjunkfood.com/fig-and-prosciutto-pizza-recipe.aspx Ingredients:

Dough

* 1 package active dry yeast, that has always been in a refrigerator
* 1 pinch of sugar
* 3/4 cup warm water, no hotter than 110 (from the tap)
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 teaspoons sea-salt
* Olive oil for the resting bowl

Pizza

* 1 pint fresh figs, stems removed, sliced to the thickness of a pea.
* 1/2 pound Prosciutto di Parma from San Daniele. Don't you dare use any other kind.
* 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
* Extra virgin olive oil
* pizza dough (above)

Directions:

For Pizza Dough: "Start" the yeast by mixing it with the sugar and water for about seven to ten minutes. Put the yeast, sugar and water mixture in your stand up mixer, fitted with the dough hook. Add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Start the machine and let mix until a dough ball forms. Stop the machine and let the dough rest for three minutes. Pulse the machine three times. Flour on the counter and put the dough on the floured surface. Knead for five minutes.

Coat a medium-sized bowl with some olive oil. Put the dough in the bowl, then turn the dough over, so that both sides are covered with a film of oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put the bowl in a warm place for 2 hours so the dough can rise. After two hours, punch the dough in the middle to deflate. Put it on a floured counter. Cut the dough in half, and freeze one half for future use. Roll the other half into a ball and cover it with the bowl for thirty minutes.

For Fig and Prosciutto Pizza: Toast the fennel seeds in a hot, dry pan-about five minutes. Set aside. Heat your oven to 4750 with a pizza stone on the highest rack. Use a cookie sheet pan that has no edges. Cover it well with Wondra flour or cornmeal. Roll out the dough to the size of the pizza stone.

Transfer the dough onto the floured sheet pan. Spread out a layer of prosciutto, then the figs, on the dough. Sprinkle the pizza with the toasted fennel. Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone by putting the sheet pan on the stone and quickly pulling the tray away, so the pizza slides.

Bake for five minutes or until the bottom of the crust is golden brown. Remove the pizza from the stone by using the sheet pan and a big spatula. Just before serving, put the pizza onto a cutting board. Drizzle it well with the extra virgin olive oil and cut it in to squares.

]]> http://pizzarecipes.findjunkfood.com/carmelized-onion-pizza-with-fontina-and-pancetta.aspx Ingredients:

Pizza Dough

* 1 cup warm water (105 degrees)
* 1 1/4 ounce packet yeast
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 2 tablespoons olive oil

Caramelized Onions

* 2 onions
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cup coarsely grated fontina
* 6 slices pancetta, cooked until crisp
* 1 clove garlic, cut in half
* 1 drizzle of olive oil
* salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Make the dough:

Pour the water into a large bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and sugar, and stir to dissolve. Let it stand until the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 5 minutes. If the mixture doesn't bubble, start it over with another packet of yeast.

Stir in 1 cup of flour, the salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.

On a lightly floured surface knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Oil a large bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm dish towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. This will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down the dough, and return it to the floured surface. Divide dough into two balls and cover each with plastic wrap, leaving room for expansion. Allow to double in size again.

Caramelized Onions: Heat oil in large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and season with salt; saute 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir frequently to get an even color. Cook until very tender and a rich golden color develops, about 20 minutes longer. Cool slightly.

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Roll out 2 dough disks on lightly floured surface to 8-inch rounds. Sprinkle two baking sheets or pizza stones with cornmeal. Rub a generous drizzle of olive oil on dough. Rub raw garlic clove all over dough. Top with fontina, caramelized onions, and pancetta. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake pizza for 10-12 minutes, until bubbling and crisp.
