Fig and Onion Jam Pizza with Goat Cheese

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with either a pizza stone or sheet tray inside of it to get hot.

Peel and slice the onions into thin rounds. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the onions with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Start with the lid on for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat to medium low after the onions have softened and begin to brown. Continue stirring the onions every few minutes, alternating between lid on and off until everything is browned and caramelized (about 20 minutes total).  Season with salt/pepper.

Roll out one ball of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12 inch round circle (or rectangle, sometimes the dough has a mind of its own).

Remove the sheet tray from the oven and drizzle the pan with a tbsp. olive oil. Carefully place the dough on the hot tray. Spread the fig jam on the crust so that it’s evenly coated. Next, add the caramelized onion mix. Top with cheeses of choice. 

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly brown (this will depend greatly on the thickness and shape of your pizza so be sure to check it periodically).

While the pizza is baking, make the salad dressing. Whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss with lettuce, fresh dill, and sliced avocado. Opinion to squeeze a little fresh lemon over the top.
