Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Pizza

Preheat oven to 450ºF and take the pizza dough out of the fridge for 20 minutes. Heat sugar in a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it has melted and turned light brown, about 3 minutes. Add onions and coat with the sugar, then add half of the butter, the baking soda, salt and a bit of pepper. Cook the onions, stirring in the pan occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the water evaporate, then add water and mix again. Do this 2 more times (adding water 3 times in total). When onions are deep brown, put them into a mixing bowl.

In the same pan the onions were in, add the remaining butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are brown and starting to crisp.

To assemble pizza, spray the sheet pan with olive oil, and stretch out the dough using your fingers or a rolling pin. When the dough is thin, place on the baking sheet. Spread the caramelized onion-jam onto the dough as a base, followed by the mushrooms. Then evenly spread the mozzarella cheese over the pizza, followed by crumbles of goat cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese bubbling.
