Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-inch round) Pizza dough
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
Slice the onions thinly. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions, salt, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Stir in the minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. If you're using a pizza stone, sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared surface. Brush the dough edges with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Evenly spread the caramelized onions over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the onions, followed by crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
Step 8
Scatter the chopped rosemary over the top.
Step 9
If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot stone. Otherwise, place the pizza on a baking sheet and transfer it to the oven.
Step 10
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top.
Step 12
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
