Carmelized Onion Pizza

If you have your dough and sauce you’re ready to go! If not, you can use these dough and sauce recipes.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough
• Pizza (red) sauce
• 1 Onion – sliced
• Low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
• Brown Sugar (Optional)

Method – Onion

• Chop your onion in half, and then slice the two halves.
• Set your heat to medium-high and pour a little olive oil into your pan.
• Once your pan is hot toss your onion slices in and let them cook for a few minutes.
• Add about a spoon full of brown sugar. This will speed up the caramelization and also add a bit of rich sweetness to your onions.
• Turn your heat down to a low or medium-low.
• Allow onions to cook to desired crispiness. I like mine to cook down very thin while being dark in color.

Method – Pizza

• Spoon your sauce from the center of your dough to the edges.
• Add a few carmelized onions.
• Add your shredded cheese.
• Continue adding onion to your heart’s desire.
• With this recipe, I also sometimes brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle red pepper on the crust. That way my pizza is savory, sweet and a little spicy.

Bake

• Preheat your oven and pizza stone to 500°
• Bake at 500° for 10-15 minutes
