Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size) pizza dough
• 3 medium yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup crushed walnuts
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) gorgonzola cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) 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.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then set the onion confit aside to cool.

Step 5

On a floured surface, stretch out the pizza dough into a round (about 12 inches in diameter). Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Spread the onion confit evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crushed walnuts, gorgonzola cheese, and shredded mozzarella on top of the onions.

Step 8

Season the toppings with black pepper and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 9

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 and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
