Ingredients
- 1 batch Overnight No Knead Pizza Dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tsps brown sugar
- 3 Tbsps red wine
- 3 Tbsps garlic oil
- 3 cups shredded mild cheese (I like Jarlsberg for it's nutty flavour but mozarella or provolone also work.)
- coarse sea salt (I use Maldon)
Instructions
Topping
- Preheat pizza stone or pan in oven at 425 degrees.
- Heat regular olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. I prefer a cast iron skillet.
- Quarter the onions and slice very thinly. Add onion slices, brown sugar and thyme to the skillet and reduce heat to med-low.Saute, stirring often at least 20 minutes, til onions are a rich golden colour. Be careful not to burn the onions. Add wine and simmer approximately 5 minutes to allow liquid to evaporate.
Assembly
- Shape your pizza bases on parchment paper according to instructions in Overnight No Knead Pizza Dough.
- Brush each pizza base with 1 tablespoon garlic oil.
- Spread ⅓ of cheese evenly over each base. Leave ½ inch outer crust free of toppings.
- Spread ⅓ of onion mixture evenly over each base.
- Sprinkle a few generous pinches of sea salt over each base.
- Bake pizza 12-15 minutes til crust is light gold colour. Monitor often since ovens can vary.
- Cut each pizza into 6 slices and serve.
