Asparagus and Red Onion Pizzas

Ingredients

Dough:
3/4 C. warm water
1 package dry active yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1-3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/4 C. whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1 T. olive oil
Coarse cornmeal

Topping:
20 stalks asparagus, trimmed
1-1/2 T. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
2 large red onions
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 T. pinenuts
3/4 C. crumbled Stilton or other blue cheese

Preparation

Prepare dough; Combine water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside 5 minutes, until foam forms on top. Combine both flours and salt in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture and oil. Combine well, then knead dough until smooth and satiny--3 to 4 minutes by machine, 8 to 10 by hand.

Place dough in oiled bowl and cover; set aside about 1-1/4 hours or until doubled in volumn.
Meanwhile, blanch or steam the asparagus until just barely tender. Pat dry, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces and slightly coat with 1 tsp. olive oil; set aside.

Sprinkle cornmeal generously on 2 lightly greased baking sheets.

Punch down dough and cut into 4 equal pieces. Roll and stretch each piece to a 6-inch round. Place rounds on baking sheets, cover with a cloth, and set aside for 30 minutes.
Heat remaining 1-1/2 T. oil in large skillet over high heat. Cut one onion into thick wedges and the other into slices; saute' in skillet 3 minutes to brown lightly.

Reduce heat to medium low, add sugar, vinegar, and salt, and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until onion is wilted and tender. Heat oven to 450*F.  Spread some onions and pinenuts on top of each dough round. Bake on lowest rack 7 minutes.

Scatter asparagus over each pizza and return to oven for 4 to 6 minutes longer or until crust is golden. Remove pizzas from oven. Immediately sprinkle cheese on top; let cheese melt 2 minutes before serving.

What can i feed my large red fin tinfoil barbs?

My tinfoils are getting up to about 9 inches and i have been feeding them tetracolor granules either alone or mixed with blood worms, brine shrimp, or sun dried red shrimp depending on the day and im looking for something a little bigger to replace the tetracolor granules

i was thinking chiclid food of some kind but they dont like to eat from the top of the tank so it has to be some sinking pellet of some kind

any idea?

Continue with the food what you usally give it but they will also eat small fish or live river shrimps.

There is a photo in one of my books showing a adult tinfoil barb eating a small fish.
