Sweet onion takes center stage, thinly sliced without pre-sautéing to preserve its signature crisp texture and subtle aroma. Topped over pizza dough with sauce and baked in a 200 °C oven, this makes a clean-tasting snack you never get tired of.

Steps
Since onion is the main star today, I prepared plenty of it.
I sliced it thinly into rounds, but you can also julienne or finely chop it.
Prepare and slice a small amount of bell pepper and ham for toppings.
The ingredients are very simple, aren't they?
Once the dough has finished its first fermentation (50 minutes), punch out the gas, shape it into a round ball, cover with plastic wrap so it does not dry out, and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes for an intermediate proofing.
Once the intermediate proofing is done, roll the dough out thin into a square shape using a rolling pin.
It depends on the dough thickness, but if you roll it thin, it will yield two sheets measuring 25.5 cm wide and 24.5 cm long. You can also shape it round if you prefer.

Place the dough on an oven pan, spread pizza sauce over it, and arrange the onion, ham, and bell pepper evenly on top.
Generously add pizza cheese (shredded mozzarella) on top at the end...
Bake at 200 °C for 15 to 20 minutes.
Ppunwife's tips
- I think it is even better to slice the onion thinly and add it directly without sautéing, as you get a nicely crisp texture.
