Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 cup Baby Bella mushrooms
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat while preheating.

Step 2

Slice the onion thinly. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until softened and golden.

Step 3

Stir in the honey and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Clean and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

On a clean surface, sprinkle some cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.

Step 7

If using a baking sheet, lightly grease it or line it with parchment paper. If using a pizza peel, dust it with cornmeal.

Step 8

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking surface. Lightly brush the top of the dough with olive oil to create a golden crust once baked.

Step 9

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Distribute the caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms on top. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and fresh thyme over the pizza.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, slice, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
