Ingredients
- 1 medium ball (store-bought or homemade) Pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup (chopped) Sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 handful (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for dusting) 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
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the onions in the oil.
Step 3
Cook the onions for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Add the granulated sugar in the last 2 minutes of cooking to enhance their sweetness. Set the onions aside.
Step 4
Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour. Shape it into a round or rectangular form, depending on your preference.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pizza peel or baking sheet with the cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared peel or sheet.
Step 6
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly spread the minced garlic over the dough.
Step 7
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza base. Scatter the caramelized onions and chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top.
Step 8
Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings.
Step 9
Season the pizza with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves as a garnish.
Step 10
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone (or keep it on the baking sheet if not using a stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Caramelized Onion Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza fresh and hot!
