Onions are the treasure of a poor man's kitchen. Heat breaks down their sharp sulfur compounds and caramelizes their sugars, adding incredible depth and sweetness. This pizza proves you can make a feast from the simplest ingredients. In the home of the 'Cipolla di Tropea' (famous sweet red onion), this is a delicacy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Slice onions very thinly into rings.

Tip: Thin slices caramelize faster and get crispier.
2 ✓

Roll out dough, spread sauce, salt, and pepper.

Tip: Tomato acidity pairs classically with onion sweetness.
3 ✓

Scatter onion rings evenly.

Tip: Place onions both UNDER and OVER the cheese. Bottom ones steam, top ones roast.
4 ✓

Top with mozzarella, drizzle with oil. Bake 12-15 minutes.

Tip: Oil helps the onions brown.
5 ✓

Remove, garnish with basil, and serve.

Tip: The smell of roasted onion will fill the kitchen!

Recipe FAQ

Won't the onion stay raw?
If sliced thin, it bakes fine. If you like thicker rings, sauté them briefly before topping.
Red or yellow onion?
Red is sweeter and looks better; yellow is punchier. Both work!
