Ingredients
  

  • For dough:
  • 1 cup warm water about 110 degrees F
  • 1 envelope 2 ¼ teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3- 3 1/2 cups bread flour plus more for rolling
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For toppings:
  • 1 small thin sweet potato, about ½ pound, cut into ¼ inch rounds
  • 1 pound red potatoes cut into ¼ inch rounds
  • 1 carrot cut into ¼ inch rounds
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • 1 large white onion about 1 pound, sliced thin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup apricot preserves
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ pound blue cheese crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 3 dates diced

Instructions
 

  • To make the dough, combine water, yeast, honey and 1-cup bread flour in a large bowl. Then let sit until it puffs up and is foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Add in olive oil and salt and then keep adding additional flour while mixing with a spoon until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Knead the dough using your hands for about 5 minutes. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is dry, add a little water.
  • Put dough in a large bowl greased with olive oil. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-½ hours until dough doubles in size.
  • While dough is rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place sliced sweet potatoes, red potatoes and carrot slices in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and combine. Place vegetables on a foil lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender and slightly golden brown. Then increase heat of oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large 12-inch sauté pan over medium- high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Then add sliced onion and 1-teaspoon salt. Lower heat to medium-low and let cook stirring often. Continue cooking until onions are a rich brown color, about 45 minutes. If onions start to stick or dry out, add a little water to the pan.
  • Once onions are caramelized, add apricot jam, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water and cook until the water has evaporated and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Once dough has risen, punch it down and roll out on a floured surface into designed shape and place on a pizza stone.
  • Top dough with caramelized onion mixture, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, red potatoes and carrots in a pattern or random. Sprinkle with blue cheese, rosemary, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Bake for 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese bubbles. Sprinkle with diced dates, slice and eat!
