Pizza with Sweet Peppers and Goat Cheese

Another great recipe from Cook Yourself Thin Faster. We love pizza and we are always looking for new pizza recipes or flatbread pizza recipes, this is a new favorite of ours. It was so delicious and had a very sweet taste. I highly suggest you try it out!

Ingredients:
Olive Oil cooking spray
1 1/2 T. olive oil
1/2 medium sized white onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 (10 oz.) jars (about 2 cups) drained roasted red peppers, thinly sliced (packed in water, not oil)
3 T. sugar
1 T. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 T. water
Kosher or Sea salt
1/2 lb. store bought pizza dough (I used Target's premade Flatbread pizza)
1/4 lb. goat cheese, crumbled

1. Preheat the oven to 450. Spray a 17x11 inch rimmed baking sheet with olive oil spray.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the roasted peppers adn cook for about 5 minutes, stirring. Add the sugar, vinegar, and water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. season with salt to taste and let the pepper mixture cool slightly. (This can be done ahead of time and refrigerated)

3. Stretch the dough (or use flatbread pizza) directly onto the baking pan, pressing and gently stretching to fill as much of the pan as possible. Spread the pepper filling evenly over the dough, place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, crumble goat cheese over the surface of the pizza and continue to bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, until the center of the pie is fully cooked.

4. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Cut into slices and serve.
