• 1 lb (500 g) prepared pizza dough
• 3 cups (750 ml) tomato sauce (see Notes)
• 1 jar (6 oz/175 g) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1 cup (250 ml) black olives, pitted and halved
• 3 roasted red bell peppers, skin removed and sliced into 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil, divided
• 2 medium sweet onions (such as Vidalia), cut into 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) slices (about 2 cups/500 mL)
• 17-by 11-inch (42.5 by 27.5 cm) rimmed baking sheet or 16-inch (40 cm) round pizza pan, greased

1. Preheat oven to 450F (230C).
2. Caramelized Onions: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking.
3. Add sliced onions and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning and sticking, for 25 to 30 minutes or until onions are soft and brown.
5. Meanwhile, on prepared baking sheet, spread dough using your fingertips to gently press the dough out so it covers the entire sheet.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until dough starts to harden but not brown.
7. Let cool in pan on a rack for about 10 minutes.
8. Spread tomato sauce over crust and scatter caramelized onions, artichokes, olives and roasted peppers over top.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is browned around the edges.
