Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough
    In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and warm water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  2. Caramelize the onions
    While the dough is rising, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes until they become golden and caramelized. Season with salt and oregano. Set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare the pizza base
    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Place one circle on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
  4. Add the cheese filling
    Spread the mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly over the dough base, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place the second dough circle on top and seal the edges by pinching them together.
  5. Top with onions and bake
    Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little more oregano. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve
    Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
