Pizza alle Cipolle

Pizza with Onions

This is a very simple pizza topping with a rich taste.

Ingredients:

Basic pizza dough

The following ingredients are for one pizza, or half the dough
recipe:
1 cup fresh Italian mozzarella cut in cubes
2 cups Italian canned plum tomatoes without juice
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium large red or white onion
1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions:

1. Slice the onion very thinly. Sauté the onion with 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick pan until translucent. Add a little bit of water if necessary. It takes about 10 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 450°.
3. Grease a baking sheet approximately 15 " X 11" with olive oil. I use a regular rectangular baking sheet, but if you want to use a round pan the equivalent should be about a 14" pizza pan. Then flatten half the dough using your fingers or a rolling pin. It'll be thin as an Italian pizza should be.
4. Spread the tomato mixture over the pizza crust and bake for about 15 minutes.
5. Add the mozzarella and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Add the onions and bake for 5 more minutes.
7. Serve it hot. It's also good when it's cold.
