Description
Pepperoncini and Onion Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers (jarred or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
- Prepare the dough: If using store-bought dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Caramelize the onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
- Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal or flour.
- Add toppings: Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the sliced pepperoncini.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the pizza.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into wedges.
