Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
-
In a small sauté pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion slices, and cook until they are tender and have a caramel color. Remove from heat, and set aside.
-
On lightly floured parchment paper, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, about ½-inch thick. Brush the crust with the oil, and sprinkle the middle with the mozzarella and blue cheeses. Top with the caramelized onions, apple, bacon, and thyme.
-
Transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Remove the pizza from the oven, and place it on a cutting board. Let cool slightly before cutting.
