Servings
4
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 3 Tbs. fresh thyme or 1 Tbs. dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 Tbs. oil for dribbling on top of pizza (optional)
  • 1 Tbs. drained capers
  • 1-1/2 Tbs. pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 pounds sliced onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil and add the onions, garlic, thyme and bay leaf.

  2. 2

    Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the moisture has evaporated and the onion mixture is very soft, almost smooth, and caramelized, about 45 minutes.

  3. 3

    Discard the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cover the dough with the onion mixture, sprinkle with capers and pine nuts, and drizzle with remaining olive oil if you are using it.

  5. 5

    Bake in pre-heated 500 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on whether you bake on a stone, a screen or in a pan. Be sure that your oven is well pre-heated before putting pizza in.
