Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Sauté onions for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft, tender, and lightly browned.

  7. Divide pizza dough into 8 portions and roll each into a 6-inch round on a floured surface.
  8. Transfer dough rounds to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  9. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated part-skim mozzarella over each pizza base.
  10. Evenly distribute the cooled caramelized onion mixture over the cheese.
