Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 Red onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for rolling the dough)
- 1 tbsp Cornmeal (for the pizza stone or baking tray)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat while preparing the pizza.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and sticky. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a clean surface, sprinkle the flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round or desired shape, ensuring it's even in thickness.
Sprinkle cornmeal onto a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared surface.
Spread the red onion marmalade evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Dollop the ricotta cheese over the marmalade, then evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
Scatter fresh thyme leaves across the pizza for a fragrant finish.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking tray in the oven. Bake for 10-12 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 before slicing and serving immediately.
