Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 batch (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons

- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups, shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, and season with salt and black pepper.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
