Pizza with Onion

This is real simple method for pizza dough. It is made using Size 00 flour. The pizza dough is from Jamie Oliver, Jamie's Italy.

Made 6-8 medium thin pizza bases.


DOUGH

PIZZA WITH ONION
2-1/4 lb.                White bread "00" flour
1 tablespoons        Salt
1/2 oz.                   Envelope active dried yeast
1 tablespoons        Sugar
2 cups                   Lukewarm water


ONION & CHEESE

                             Olive oil
4 large                  Onion, sliced
1 tablespoons       Fresh thyme
10 oz.                   Fresh mozzarella
                             Parsley
  1. Cook olive oil with onion in a large skillet over low heat, for 1 hour.
  2. Pile the flour and salt onto a clean surface and make a 7-inch well in the center. 
  3. Add your yeast and sugar to the lukewarm water, mix up with a fork and let it set five minutes, then pour into the well over four separate times.  Each time, using a fork and a circular movement, slowly bring in the flour from the inner edge of the well and mix into the water. When the dough comes to together, pat it into a ball. Repeat this for 10 minutes, until you have a smooth, springy, soft dough.
  4. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. It is best to a use pizza stones.
  5. Flour the top of your dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. I suggest that 6 is a good quantity for this amount of dough. Roll the dough into 8"-10" pizzas 15 to 30 minutes before you start to cook them. Move dough onto parchment paper on pizza peel.
  6. Tear off mozzarella in bite size pieces. Top with caramelized onions, mozzarella, thyme and parsley. Remember: less is more.  
  7. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the pizza are golden and crispy.
