Apple and Feta Fried Pizzas
Makes 6 pizzas
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. frozen store bought pizza dough
4 Tbls. olive oil
6 oz. crumbled feta cheese
1 very small red onion-thinly sliced
1 Tbls. chopped fresh thyme
1 Tbls. butter
3 sweet apples-peeled, cored and each apple sliced into 12 equal pieces
1 tsp. sugar
ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Place frozen dough into a greased bowl. Lightly grease the top of the dough.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free area.
Let dough thaw and rise until doubled in size.
This should take several hours.
When dough is ready, divide into 6 equal balls.
On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin,
flatten each ball into rounds, 6-7" in diameter. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
When oil is hot, fry each pizza dough until golden brown on both sides.
Then remove to a cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Sprinkle the tops of each fried pizza with the feta cheese, red onions and chopped thyme.
Bake for about 12 minutes.
While the pizza bakes, saute the apples with the butter and sugar, in the same skillet used to fry the dough. Let the apples saute until golden brown and tender.
Then arrange the sauteed apple slices in a sunburst pattern, on top the cheese and onion baked pizzas. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper and serve warm.
