Instructions

For the Caramelized Onions

1

Peel and halve two red onions; thinly slice them and sauté over low heat with a little olive oil and pinch of Kosher salt for about two hours. Go about your morning and give them a stir every 20 minutes or so. Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate until you're ready to use them.

Spicy Italian Sausage

2

Brown one pound of Hot Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. When it's cooled a bit, transfer to a container and cover in the fridge until you're ready to use.

3

About 45-50 minutes before you're ready to bake, preheat your home oven to 450 degrees. Let the oven and the pizza steel or stone preheat for about 1 hour before putting the pizza in the oven.

4

Roll, stretch or pull your dough to a roughly 12-inch round. Evenly spread about a cup of shredded mozzarella on the dough.

5

Next, add the browned spicy sausage. Top the sausage with the caramelized onions. Finally, dot the top with dollops of ricotta cheese.

6

Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes in your home oven. Or until the crust is puffed and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
