Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 3 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil and the sliced onions. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, golden brown, and caramelized.
Stir in balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into two equal-sized rounds or one large pizza, depending on your preference.
Sprinkle cornmeal or flour onto a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto the paper.
Scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Spread the caramelized onions over the cheese layer, ensuring even distribution.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and any additional toppings if desired.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice into pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
