Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons fast rising yeast
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cornmeal (plus extra for sprinkling)
• 6 fresh sage leaves
• 3/4 teaspoon dried sage (or use fresh if preferred)
• 1/4 cup fontina cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup of flour and the fast-rising yeast. With the motor running, slowly add the hot water.
2. Turn off the motor and add olive oil, honey, salt, cornmeal, and 1/2 cup of the remaining flour.
3. Pulse the mixture until the dough comes together into a ball. If needed, add some of the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to make the dough soft but not sticky.
4. Whirl the dough for about 30 seconds. Then, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface and knead it about 10 times.
5. Form the dough into a ball and let it rest, covered, for about 20 minutes.

2. Preheat and Roll Out:

1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). This high temperature helps achieve that perfect crispy crust.
2. Roll out the rested dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer a thinner crust, roll it out even more.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

1. Oil a baking sheet and sprinkle it with cornmeal. This adds a delightful crunch to the crust.
2. If using dried sage, sprinkle it over the dough. The fragrant sage adds a wonderful aroma and flavor.
3. Next, evenly sprinkle the shredded fontina and crumbled blue cheese over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
4. Arrange the thinly sliced red onion rings and fresh sage leaves on top of the cheeses.
5. Finally, scatter the grated parmesan cheese over everything.

4. Bake to Perfection:

1. Place the assembled pizza on the bottom rack of your preheated oven.
2. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese is wonderfully bubbly and melted.
3. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to ensure it doesn’t overcook.

5. Serve and Enjoy!

1. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
2. Slice it into wedges and serve hot! This pizza pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or your favorite beverage.

Notes:

• This pizza dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a day before using.
• Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Add some cooked bacon, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.
• Fresh sage leaves not only add flavor but also make for a beautiful presentation.
• For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon or replace it with your favorite plant-based protein.
