- 4 ounces Goat cheese

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Peel and slice the onions thinly. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir to combine.

Cook the onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.

Spread the caramelized onions evenly across the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
Step 9
Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the onions.
Step 10
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, ensuring even distribution.
Step 11
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the pizza.
Step 12
Carefully slide the pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 13
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 14
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 15
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a touch of tangy sweetness.
Step 16
