Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 batch (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onions
- 2 large, thinly sliced
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups, shredded
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape and transfer it to a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Sauté the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. This step is crucial for developing the sweet flavor of the onions.
- Evenly spread the caramelized onions over the prepared pizza dough, making sure to cover the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the onions.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing.
- Slice into squares or triangles and serve hot as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
Tips
- For an added kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the onions while they caramelize.
- You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone or fontina, for varied flavors.
- Serve Fugazza with a side of chimichurri sauce for a fresh and zesty accompaniment.
