Best Blue Cheese Recipes

Red Onion and Gorgonzola Flatbread

 

Ingredients

• 1 package (¼ oz) active Dry Yeast


• 1 cup Semolina Flour


• 2 cups all-purpose Flour


• 2 tsp Salt


• 4 tbsp Olive Oil


• 1 medium Red Onion (thinly sliced)


• ½ tsp Red Chili Flakes


• 1 tbsp fresh Rosemary Leaves (crushed)


• 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar


• 4 oz Gorgonzola or other Blue Cheese (crumbled)

Method

• To make these irresistibly lip-smacking mini-pizzas, you will have to prepare the yeasted semolina dough first. In a large and clean bowl, take a cup of warm water and empty the packet of dry yeast into it. Stir and allow the frothy mixture to sit for five minutes.


• Add flour, a tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoon of oil to the dough. Wrap the bowl with a plastic sheet, put the dish on a warm place for about an hour, and wait for the dough to rise.


• In a separate bowl, take the sliced onions, rosemary, the remaining olive oil, vinegar, chili flakes and salt. Mix the ingredients and keep the bowl aside.


• Preheat the oven to 450°C. Take two baking sheets and dust semolina over them. Dab a surface with some flour and place the yeast dough on top of it. Knead the dough until smooth and roll out small balls out of it. Using a rolling pin, flatten the balls as thinly as possible. Put the flat breads on each of the baking sheets. Top it with the onion mixture, generously sprinkle the blue cheese, and bake the pizza for 15 minutes until brown. Your lip smacking pizza is ready to be devoured.
