Pizza?

Maybe you could help settle a little argument between Rob and I.....

Do you think this should be considered pizza? or flatbread? Rob thinks pizza should contain a red sauce and white cheese -

Fig, Caramelized Onion, and Gorgonzola Pizza



topped with arugula



pizza dough (I used this recipe)
2 sweet onions
1 T butter
1 tsp sugar
1 small bag (6 oz) dried figs (covered with boiling water for 5 minutes)
1 small container (6 oz) gorgonzola
4 cups arugula

1. Slice onions and add to small saute pan. Add butter and sugar and cook slowly over low heat for 25 minutes or until onions turn caramel-brown.
2. Shape pizza dough to fit baking stone or cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and "par-bake" at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until it begins to turn golden.
3. Slice reconstituted figs laterally until they lay flat.
4. Top par-baked pizza crust with gorgonzola, figs, and caramelized onions.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Top with arugula and serve.
