Preparation

  1. 1. Heat 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over
  2. medium-high heat. Season the ribs with the salt and pepper.
  3. Add the ribs and garlic to the Dutch oven, making sure that the
  4. exposed garlic cloves sear on the bottom of the pan. Brown the
  5. ribs on all sides. Add the stock, rosemary, and thyme to the
  6. Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook,
  7. partially covered, over low heat until tender and starting to fall
  8. off the bone, 2½ to 3 hours. Let cool completely, then shred
  9. the short ribs and set aside.
  10. 2. Heat the remaining oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  11. Add the onions and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  12. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 20
  13. to 25 minutes, until the onions are browned and caramelized.
  14. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  15. 3. Preheat the pizza oven with the pizza stone on the rack
  16. to 700°F.
  17. 4. Stretch the pizza dough to a 10- to 12-inch round.
  18. 5. Transfer the dough to the pizza peel generously dusted with flour.
  19. 6. Spread the pizza sauce evenly around the center of the dough,
  20. leaving a 1-inch border.
  21. 7. Scatter the Gouda over the sauce, followed by the shredded
  22. ribs and caramelized onions.
  23. 8. Gently shimmy the pizza on the peel to ensure it isn’t sticking.
  24. If the dough is sticking, gently lift the dough and spread
  25. additional flour underneath.
  26. 9. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Slide the pizza off the peel and
  27. onto the pizza stone. Start the timer.
  28. 10. When the timer sounds, check the pizza. If baked to desired
  29. doneness, use the peel to remove the pizza from the oven, or
  30. bake for about 1 more minute. Slide the pizza onto a cutting
  31. board. Garnish with the scallions. Slice and serve
