Ingredients:

For Pizza Dough:

1 cup warm water (105� F)
1 1/4 oz. packet yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsps. olive oil

For Caramelized Onions:

2 onions

1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup coarsely grated fontina
6 slices pancetta, cooked until crisp
1 clove garlic, cut in half
a drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

To make dough:

In a bowl, dissolve yeast, water and the sugar. Let this mixture stand just until it bubbles. This takes around 5 mins. If it does not bubble then start over again with a new pack of the yeast.

After the yeast mixture has bubbled, add 1 tbsp. of oil, salt and a cup of the flour. Using a wooden spoon mix until it has been incorporated well. One by one add in half a cup of the remainder of the flour and mix well after adding the flour.

Lightly dust with flour a flat surface and start to knead your dough until it becomes elastic and smooth. This takes around 10 mins. Lightly grease with some olive oil a bowl and place the pizza dough on it. Cover dough with a dish towel that is quite warm and plastic wrap too. In a warm location, allow the pizza dough to rise until it has doubled its size. The rising process will be around 1-1.5 hrs.

Punch the dough down and then dust with flour again the flat surface and put your dough onto it. Cut your dough into 2 balls. Then just cover them with some plastic wrap and leave some room to allow the dough expand. Allow the dough to rise until it doubles its size once more.

To make caramelized onions:

In a nonstick pan, heat some oil on medium heat and put the onions. Season with some salt. Continue to saut� for 5 mins. Lower your heat to medium low and continue stirring for the onions to have brown color evenly. Make sure to cook the onions until soft and it turns golden brown. This takes 20 more mins. Slightly cool the onions. Set aside.

Oven should be preheated to 475′ F. Roll your dough out onto a flat surface that has been floured and make two 8-inch pizza circles. Use 2 baking sheets or pizza stones and then dust them with some cornmeal. Brush oil generously on the dough. Also, rub the garlic cloves on the dough. Then, top your pizzas with pancetta, fontina and the onions that were caramelized. Season some pepper and some salt.

Bake in your oven for around 10 to 12 mins until toppings bubble and the crust has turned crispy.
