Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 1 lb) Pizza dough
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Peel and slice the onions thinly. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir to combine.
Cook the onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.
Carefully transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper to make transferring to the hot stone or baking sheet easier.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly across the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the onions.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, ensuring even distribution.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the pizza.
Carefully slide the pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a touch of tangy sweetness.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
