Pissaladière is a classic savory bread - here, it is updated with sunny squash, parmesan cheese, and hazelnuts.
Ingredients
  • pizza dough
  • 1 zucchini squash, thinly sliced in rounds
  • .25 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium Spanish onion, thinly sliced in rounds
  • olive oil
  • salt, pepper
  • .25 cup hazelnuts, crushed
Instructions
  1. Sauté the zucchini first, in a large pan with a tiny bit of olive oil. Flip over once. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Now caramelize the onions - get the olive oil sizzling in a large pan, then add onions and coat them in the hot oil. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until caramel-brown.
  3. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 475F or as high as your temperature setting will go. Roll out the pizza dough very thinly on a piece of parchment paper that you can later place directly on the oven rack. It should form a "rustic rectangle."
  4. Arrange zucchini and onion slices neatly on the pizza dough, leaving a half inch border around the edges. Top with parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake for about 10 minutes. Then top with crushed hazelnuts. Serve warm or cold.
