Thin Crust Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers
- 2 whole Medium Yellow Onions, Thinly Sliced
- 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes (or A 14 Oz. Can Of Diced Tomatoes)
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
- 2 whole Italian Sausage Links, Casings Removed
- 1 pound Store Bought Pizza Dough, Divided Into Two Balls
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Place the sliced onions into a large skillet, over low heat.
- Occasionally toss the onions, as they caramelize over the next hour or so.
- Theyll turn brown and sugary and oh so lovely.
- In the meantime, throw your tomatoes into a small food processor.
- Blitz until smooth.
- Transfer the sauce to a small sauce pan and simmer on low for about 30 minutes, reducing the tomatoes.
- Season with a small pinch of salt.
- Also in the meantime, turn on your broiler.
- Using tongs, place the pepper on the top oven rack and cook until its black and charred all over, turning the pepper as you go.
- Remove the pepper from the oven and place it in a bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- The skin will loosen on the pepper.
- Youll then just pull the skin away from the pepper.
- Slice into strips!
- (Or you can buy them already roasted.)
- Once youre done broiling, set your oven to 400 degrees F. Stick a pizza stone in there too if you have one.
- Once the onions are caramelized, transfer them to a small bowl.
- To the skillet, add the Italian sausages.
- Cook until browned all over, about 7 minutes.
- Roll out 2 balls of pizza dough until you get roughly 10-inch circles.
- Evenly spoon the tomato sauce over each crust.
- Arrange the onions on top of the sauce.
- Then sprinkle the sausage crumbles over the onions.
- Then on go the roasted red pepper strips.
- Then sprinkle the cheese over each pizza, slide each pizza onto the stone (preferably with a little corn meal on the stone) and bake about 13 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Slice it and serve it.
