Ingredients

  • TOPPING:
  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 3 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
  • 3 to 4 medium plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, salt and sugar. Dissolve the yeast in warm water; stir in olive oil. Add to the dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. circle. Place on a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Brush with oil. Combine the Parmesan cheese, rosemary, garlic and salt; sprinkle over dough. Arrange onion rings and tomatoes over top, pressing down lightly.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges.
