Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup white barbecue sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup fontina cheese, shredded
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh arugula, for topping (optional)
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it’s heating.
Caramelize the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and soft, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the pizza dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the sauce: Evenly spread the white barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and fontina cheeses evenly over the sauce.
Layer the toppings: Distribute the caramelized onions over the cheese, followed by the slices of prosciutto.
Bake the pizza: Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone if using). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Finish with freshness: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Slice and serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Enjoy your delicious White Barbecue Pizza!
