Caramelized onion pizza with delicious creaminess and sharp gorgonzola flavors. Is there anything better than a delicious homemade pizza? This one is full so much goodness. Oh my! The sweet caramelized onions pairs perfectly with the slightly sweet and salty gorgonzola cheese.
Once your dough is ready, cut it in half and roll out each pizza. The shape isn’t too important. And I believe the less perfect, the better. It gives it a nice rustic appearance.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. While the oven is preheating, begin to caramelize the onions. Cut up the onions in half and then start cutting them up to about 1/4- 1/8 inch thick slices.
Heat up the cast iron skillet with the olive oil. And then sauté the onions, stirring frequently. Only lighly caramelize the onions so they don't become bitter during the baking steps.
After the dough is rolled out, transfer the dough to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Use your fingers to create little wells in the dough. Then drizzle just a bit of olive oil over the dough and brush it around, making sure to coat the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly to both of the pizza doughs. Next, begin to layer on the caramelized onions. Distrubute the onions to both pizza doughs.
Use a fork to crumble off pieces of gorgonzola and then sprinkle them around your pizzas. Bake in the preheated 475 degree oven for between 13-15 minutes or until the edges of the pizza are nice and golden brown.
