Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it is not too thick or too thin.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and fennel.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and the fennel is softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or the preheated pizza stone.
- Spread the caramelized onion and fennel mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese generously on top.
- 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 immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped basil.
- Let cool slightly, then slice and serve hot.
