--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Crust
   1 1/2           cups  lukewarm water -- (340g)
   3 1/4           cups  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- Note*, (390g)
   1                cup  semolina flour -- Note*, (163g)
      1/4           cup  olive oil -- (50g)
   1         tablespoon  Pizza Dough Flavor -- optional, (6g)
      1/4           cup  King Arthur Easy-Roll Dough Improver -- 
optional, but very helpful
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
   2          teaspoons  instant yeast
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
                         Topping
   2          teaspoons  vegetable oil -- or butter
   4              large  yellow onions -- thinly sliced, (907g)
   1         tablespoon  red wine vinegar -- Note*
   1         tablespoon  sugar
      1/4      teaspoon  salt
   14            ounces  Brie cheese -- rind removed, cut into cubes, 
(to 16 oz)
                         freshly ground black pepper
      1/2           cup  sliced almonds -- optional, (57g)

This pizza's rich topping pairs the subtle sweetness of caramelized 
onions with creamy Brie cheese. For a hint of tang and to give the 
pizza a festive touch, add some lightly sweetened fresh or frozen 
cranberries as well (see "tips," below).

Note*: Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of any sweet dessert wine in place of 
the wine vinegar and sugar, if desired.
Pizza Dough Flavor: Use approximately 1 1/3 teaspoons per cup of 
flour in any pizza crust recipe.
Easy Roll Dough Improver: Add a tablespoon or two of this relaxer to 
dough. Perfect for any dough or pastry that needs rolling out.

PREP: 40 mins
BAKE: 15 to 18 mins
TOTAL: 55 mins

Mix and knead the crust ingredients - by hand, mixer, or bread 
machine - to make a smooth, shiny, just slightly sticky dough.

Allow the dough to rise, covered, while you make the topping, about 
45 to 60 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat, 
then add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they're 
translucent and browning on the edges, about 20 minutes.

Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt, and cook until evenly browned and 
all the liquid has evaporated, another 10 minutes or so.

Remove the onions from the heat and transfer them to a plate or 
shallow dish to cool.

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Lightly oil two 12" or 14" round pizza pans, one 18" x 13" baking 
sheet, or a grandma pizza pan. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan 
and pat it out to fill the pan. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 
to 15 minutes if it starts to shrink back during this process.

Let the crust rest, covered, for up to 60 minutes, until the onions 
have cooled down; the longer your crust rests, the lighter it will be.

Cover the dough with the onions, then scatter with the Brie. Grind a 
sprinkling of fresh black pepper over the top then sprinkle with 
sliced almonds, if desired.

Bake the pizza(s) until the crust is golden brown around the edges 
and the cheese is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes for the two smaller 
round pizzas or 20 to 25 minutes for the single larger pizza.

Remove the pizza(s) from the oven, allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, 
then remove from the pan and slice.

Tips: Our Pizza Flour Blend is an easy substitution for the 
all-purpose and semolina flours.  Simply use 4 1/4 cups (531g) of the 
blend and you won't need to make any other adjustments to the recipe. 
If you don't have semolina and want to substitute all-purpose flour, 
reduce the water in the recipe to 1 1/3 cups (301g). The resulting 
crust won't be quite as chewy.
For a festive holiday touch, toss 1 cup (99g) fresh or frozen 
cranberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. Scatter the sweetened 
cranberries onto the pizza after the Brie. Bake the pizza as 
directed. For a pretty green flourish, top the baked pizza with fresh 
rosemary, thyme, or other finely chopped herbs.
