Caramelized Onion Pizza with Melty Cheese: The Ultimate 7-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 4 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating your Caramelized Onion Pizza with Melty Cheese is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure success:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Stir occasionally for about 20-25 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If homemade, follow your recipe for rolling out the dough.
4. Assemble the Pizza: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the onions.
6. Bake: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
7. Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh thyme leaves for an added burst of flavor.
8. Slice and Serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice your pizza into wedges and serve warm.

These simple steps will guide you in creating the ultimate Caramelized Onion Pizza with Melty Cheese that everyone will love.
