Servings: persons

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 to 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon quick-rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash sugar
1/2 cup warm water (120u00b0 to 130u00b0)
4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 small onion, chopped
3 teaspoons cider vinegar, divided
2 teaspoons maple syrup, divided
Dash salt
Dash cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cornmeal
2 cups chopped beet greens or fresh spinach
1/2 cup chopped apple
2 fully cooked apple chicken sausage links or flavor of your choice (3 ounces each), sliced
3/4 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese

1
In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Stir in the water, oil and honey; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon syrup, salt and cayenne in oil until onion is tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the sage, mustard and remaining vinegar and syrup.
4
Grease a 12-in. pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll out dough to fit prepared pan; prick thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 450u00b0 for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
5
Arrange the onion mixture, beet greens, apple, sausages and cheese over top. Bake 5-7 minutes longer or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
