The Method

1
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
2
Prepare the caramelized onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
3
While the onions are caramelizing, shred the duck confit, removing the skin (discard or crisp separately for a snack).
4
Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. Place it on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper.
5
Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
6
Spread the fig jam evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
7
Top with the caramelized onions, shredded duck confit, and crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
8
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
9
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before drizzling with balsamic glaze.
11
Slice and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a crispier crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.

If you don't have duck confit, you can substitute with shredded roasted duck or even pulled pork.

Feel free to add other toppings like arugula or toasted walnuts after baking for added flavor and texture.

If you are using pre-made dough, adjust baking time accordingly.
