Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add onions and saute over moderate heat until tender and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally until tomato juices have evaporated, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Arrange dough circles on a large, greased baking sheet, with half of each circle off the edge of the baking sheet. Place 1/2 cup of the filling on the half of the dough on the baking sheet, leaving a 1 inch border around the rim. Fold dough over to cover the filling. Press edges to seal. Crimp decoratively by folding lower edge up and over the top edge at 3/4 inch intervals.

Bake on lowest rack of oven at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
