SPRING ONION PIZZAS

INGREDIENTS

1 recipe homemade pizza dough

Cornmeal, for sprinkling

6 to 10 thin spring onions or scallions, sliced into vertical strips

Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

1 tablespoon (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

½ garlic clove, minced

1 (8-ounce/225-g) ball fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 cup (250 mL) finely chopped herbs (a mix of basil, parsley, and tarragon)

Pinches of red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

Prepare the homemade pizza dough.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

On a lightly floured flat surface, divide the dough into 2 balls and roll each into a 10-inch (25-cm) oval shape. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking. Place the pizzas on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.

On a plate, toss the spring onions with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the minced garlic and brush onto the dough. Top the pizza dough with the mozzarella slices and spring onion strips.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the pizza crust is golden brown.

Top the pizzas with the chopped herbs and a few pinches of red pepper flakes.
