Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 1 cup Roasted red peppers
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil
• 1 tbsp Flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir occasionally and cook for 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 4

While the onions cook, mince the garlic cloves and prepare your other toppings: thinly slice the roasted red peppers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the Kalamata olives.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to slide onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet later.

Step 6

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the pizza dough, then evenly sprinkle the minced garlic across the dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions.

Step 8

Scatter the sliced roasted red peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives across the pizza, leaving some space between toppings.

Step 9

Crumble the feta cheese over the toppings, then sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the entire pizza.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for added freshness and aroma.

Step 12

Slice and serve your Mediterranean pizza with caramelized onions. Enjoy!
