How to make Onion Pizza
Dough
- 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.
- Step 2
Gradually add the lukewarm water and begin to incorporate the flour, mixing gently.
- Step 3
Add the olive oil and continue mixing until a dough ball forms.
- Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Step 6
Once risen, divide the dough into three equal portions and cover them with a cloth to let them rise again.
Sauce
- Step 1
Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil and salt.
- Step 2
Cook for about five minutes over low heat, then add the crushed tomatoes and chopped basil.
- Step 3
Add a drizzle of olive oil and, if the sauce is too acidic, stir in a small teaspoon of sugar.
Topping
- Step 1
Slice the onions into thin rings and sauté them in a bit of olive oil and salt until tender.
- Step 2
Roll out the pizza dough on your work surface and shape it into pizzas. Place the dough on a baking tray.
- 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.
- Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (450°F) until the crust is golden and the mozzarella is melted.

Tips & Tricks
If desired, you can prepare the topping without the tomato sauce, using only the cheese and onion slices.
For a crispier crust, preheat your baking tray in the oven before placing the pizza dough on it.
Let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area to ensure it rises properly.
