Scale
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 3/4 tsp. salt, divided, or more to taste
- 8 oz. sliced brown mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp. pepper, or more to taste
- 1 1/4 lb. prepared pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Add the onion, cover, and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.
- Reduce the heat to very low and cook, uncovered and stirring frequently, until the onion is a deep golden color, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat, add more salt to taste, and set aside to cool.
- While the onions are cooking, in a medium skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the mushrooms, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add more salt and pepper to taste, and set aside to cool.
- While the onions and mushrooms are cooling, on lightly floured surface, roll or spread the dough into an approximately 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to an oiled baking sheet and set aside 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500°F, with a pizza stone if you have one.
- Dimple the dough with your fingertips. Top with the onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Bake, with the baking sheet directly on the pizza stone if you have one, for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the thyme, if using, and continue baking until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
