Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Jalapenos
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Slice the yellow onions thinly and set aside. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the jalapenos into thin rounds. Remove the jalapeno seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Add a pinch of salt and the minced garlic in the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 4

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 5

Brush the dough lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute the caramelized onions and sliced jalapenos on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Add a dash of red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.

Step 8

Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bistro Onion Jalapeno Pizza!
