Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 2 medium Jalapenos
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Slice the yellow onions thinly and set aside. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the jalapenos into thin rounds. Remove the jalapeno seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Add a pinch of salt and the minced garlic in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the dough lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute the caramelized onions and sliced jalapenos on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Add a dash of red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bistro Onion Jalapeno Pizza!
