Method
 

Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, honey, and olive oil. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix in flour and salt to form a sticky dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface.
  3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet, add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and caramelize for 30-35 minutes.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté halved Brussels sprouts for 6-8 minutes until bright green.
  6. Punch down the dough, roll it out to fit a baking sheet, and brush with olive oil.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Layer cheddar on dough, add caramelized onions and Brussels sprouts, then top with Parmesan and pistachios.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  9. Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh herbs, slice and serve.
