Sweet Pepper and Goat Cheese Pizza

Um, my mouth is still watering!!!  I made such an awesome pizza tonight -- ahhh I would eat the whole thing, but I have a feeling when Ross gets home from work in a bit he might be a bit starving :)  For real - the combo of the peppers and the sweet sauce was SO good!!  I think Ross might love it - even though no meat is involved!!  It was actually really easy to make - it took about 20 min from beginning to end....do it!!

Ingredients:
Olive Oil cooking spray
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium sized white onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 (10 oz.) jars (about 2 cups) drained roasted red peppers, thinly sliced (packed in water, not oil)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
Kosher or Sea salt
1/2 lb store bought pizza dough (I used Target's premade Flat bread pizza)
1/4 lb goat cheese, crumbled

Preheat the oven to 450. Spray a 17x11 inch rimmed baking sheet with olive oil spray.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the roasted peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring. Add the sugar, vinegar, and water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. season with salt to taste and let the pepper mixture cool slightly. (This can be done ahead of time and refrigerated)

Stretch the dough (or use flat bread pizza) directly onto the baking pan, pressing and gently stretching to fill as much of the pan as possible. Spread the pepper filling evenly over the dough, place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, crumble goat cheese over the surface of the pizza and continue to bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, until the center of the pie is fully cooked.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Cut into slices and serve.
