Ingredients

Caramelised onion

60 gram butter

1 tablespoon oil

2 red onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 long turkish bread, halved

6 slices prosciutto, chopped

2 tablespoon olive oil

Method

1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Line an oven tray with foil.

2.CARAMELISED ONION: Heat butter and oil in a large frying pan on medium. Saute onion for 8-10 minutes, until very tender. Stir in sugar and vinegar. Cook, stirring, for a further 10 minutes until caramelised. Season to taste.

3.Place Turkish bread halves on a prepared tray(cut-side up). Spread evenly with caramelised onion and prosciutto slices.

4.Heat oil in a large frying pan on high. Saute mushrooms and garlic for 4-5 minutes, until tender. Spoon over base.

5.Top with mozzarella. Bake for 5-10 minutes, until cheese melts and base is crisp. Serve topped with rocket leaves.

We used a combination of button and Swiss brown mushrooms in this recipe. If liked, use two round Turkish bread and split to make individual pizzas.
