Instructions

Step 1: Thinly slice 1 medium yellow onion (150 g). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion slices and 1 tsp granulated sugar, cooking slowly for 20 minutes until onions are soft, golden, and caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Roll out 280 g pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface and transfer onto parchment paper.
Step 4: Evenly spread 100 g shredded mozzarella over the dough, then sprinkle 50 g crumbled gorgonzola, 40 g grated parmesan, and 60 g shredded fontina cheese on top.
Step 5: Scatter the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese layer and sprinkle 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves.
Step 6: Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 7: Slide the pizza with parchment paper onto the heated stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is melted with bubbling spots.
Step 8: Remove from oven, let rest for 3 minutes, slice, and serve.
