Instructions
Creating Pepperoncini and Onion Pizza is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
3. Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown and soft, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Layer the Toppings: Distribute the caramelized onions and sliced pepperoncini evenly over the cheese.
7. Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder over the toppings for added flavor.
8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
10. Garnish: If desired, add fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
