Blogwatch: Caramelized Onion and Arugula Pizza

Looking for a cheaper dinner? Pizza dough requires only a couple of basic pantry ingredients and the toppings can be as frugal as needed!
Pete of Pete Bakes! uses a dough recipe from famed baker Peter Reinhart to create a tasty pizza with caramelized onions, white sauce, mozzarella, and arugula. He doesn't just stop there but also makes versions with lightly fried and crumbled Italian sausage, sun-dried tomato and basil, sausage and pineapple, etc. There are so many variations; just throw on whatever you have leftover around the kitchen. Pete also suggests trying a squash and bacon combination. Now, that is something I can get on board with. The best part? The dough will "keep in your fridge for days or freezer for months so you can whip up a pizza whenever it strikes your fancy."

ooh, I love how thin and crisp the crust is.

Reinhart's recipe is top notch. You can start a pizza place with that thing. My favorite topping combo is a 3-cheese blend of asiago, shredded moz., and parm with prosciutto.
Simple but so good.

What, did someone accidentally drop a salad on my pizza? That ggreen stuff simply does not belong on top. Besides, arugula is gross, and detracts from the deliciousness that is a hot slice of pizza. Raw greens? NO!!!

I'm going to make this for Sunday's Superbowl Party. I don't like football much, but I do love homemade pizza and I'm going to try the bacon -- and I'll add pineapple for my five a day.

Anyone ever used Trader Joe's pizza dough? Any good?
