Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 200g Alouette Baby Brie
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and red bell peppers. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables become soft and start to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the caramelized vegetables, season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to approximately 12 inches in diameter. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough using a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet.
- Slice the Alouette Baby Brie into thin rounds or small pieces. Distribute the cheese evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Spread the caramelized peppers and onions over the cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
Tips
- For the crispiest crust, use a pizza stone or a preheated baking sheet to ensure even heat distribution.
- Don't rush the caramelization process - low and slow is the key to developing rich, sweet flavor in your vegetables.
- Let your pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make slicing easier.
- Use fresh basil as a garnish right before serving to add a burst of fresh flavor and beautiful color.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made pizza dough or even a prepared pizza crust to speed up the process.
- For extra flavor, try brushing the crust edge with a little olive oil before baking to get a golden, crispy finish.
