How to make Onion Pizza

Dough

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt and create a well in the center. Crumble the fresh yeast into the well.

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add the lukewarm water and begin to incorporate the flour, mixing gently.

  3. Step 3

    Add the olive oil and continue mixing until a dough ball forms.

  4. Step 4

    Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  5. Step 5

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.

  6. Step 6

    Once risen, divide the dough into three equal portions and cover them with a cloth to let them rise again.

Sauce

  1. Step 1

    Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil and salt.

  2. Step 2

    Cook for about five minutes over low heat, then add the crushed tomatoes and chopped basil.

  3. Step 3

    Add a drizzle of olive oil and, if the sauce is too acidic, stir in a small teaspoon of sugar.

Topping

  1. Step 1

    Slice the onions into thin rings and sauté them in a bit of olive oil and salt until tender.

  2. Step 2

    Roll out the pizza dough on your work surface and shape it into pizzas. Place the dough on a baking tray.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella, and finally, the sautéed onion rings on top.

  4. Step 4

    Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (450°F) until the crust is golden and the mozzarella is melted.

Tips & Tricks

  1. If desired, you can prepare the topping without the tomato sauce, using only the cheese and onion slices.

  2. For a crispier crust, preheat your baking tray in the oven before placing the pizza dough on it.

  3. Let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area to ensure it rises properly.

FAQS

  1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast?

    Yes, you can substitute fresh yeast with dry yeast. Use about 6 g (2 tsp) of dry yeast for this recipe.

  2. Can I make the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before using.

  3. What type of onions should I use?

    Sweet onions work best for this recipe as they provide a mild and slightly sweet flavor.

  4. Can I freeze the pizza dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the dough after the first rise. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.

  5. What can I use if I don't have fresh basil?

    You can use dried basil as a substitute. Use about half the amount of dried basil as fresh.
