Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 large vidalia onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ batch onion pizza dough (recipe below)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 oz. shaved or grated gruyere cheese
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Onion Pizza Dough

  • ¾ Tbsp rapid rise yeast
  • 1 ½ cups lukewarm water
  • ½ Tbsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • Add butter to a large skillet over medium low heat. When melted, add onions and stir until well coated in butter.
  • When onions are turning transparent, after about 10 minutes of cooking, stir in brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.
  • Continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until onions are well caramelized. Stir in salt and pepper.
  • Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees and place pizza pan or stone in oven.
  • Roll pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Remove pan or stone from oven and place dough on top. Lightly brush with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dough. Top with caramelized onions and chopped thyme. Layer shaved or grated gruyere cheese over the top.
  • Bake pizza at 500 degrees for about 9-11 minutes, until dough is nice and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.

Onion Pizza Dough

  • Mix yeast and lukewarm water in a large bowl and let rest for two minutes.
  • Stir salt, sugar, and extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl.
  • With a wooden spoon, mix flour and onion powder into the mixture.
  • Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm spot for about 2 hours so dough can rise.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Recipe makes enough for two large pizzas. Wrapped dough can stay in fridge for about 7 days. You can also put dough in freezer for up to 3 months and defrost in fridge overnight before using.
