Cast Iron Fig & Caramelized Onion Pizza
Makes 1 pizza
Prep Time: 1 hour (rising time) 15 minutes minutes
Grill Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:
For the dough:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 heaping tsp yeast
1 heaping tsp maple syrup

For the pizza:
One large onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
227g (8oz) fresh black figs, sliced in half
1 cup plant-based (or regular) soft cheese (I used a spicy imitation goat cheese!)
Black pepper to taste
For garnish: arugula, sprouts, or chives, hot maple syrup

Directions:
To make the dough, combine the water with the yeast and honey (or maple syrup) and allow to bloom for 10 minutes. Add the salt the the flour, and mix well. Then add the yeast/water mixture, and knead until a soft dough forms. Lightly oil a bowl, and toss the dough around in it. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and put in a warm place for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, cook the onions over medium high heat in the olive oil for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Season to taste. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar. Set aside.
Lightly oil a cast iron skillet. Spread the dough out in the skillet, and use your fingers to create a crust against the sides of the cast iron. Top with the cheese, then the onions, and the figs. Add black pepper to taste.
Preheat grill (or oven) to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grill (or bake) pizza over indirect heat for 45 minutes, until lightly browned. Allow to cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before removing and fully cooling on a wire rack. Just before serving, top with hot honey (optional) and sprouts, arugula or chives.
