  • Preheat oven to 425°F conventional or 375°F convection.

  • Add reserved 2 Tbsp. oil to skillet and heat; add onion and sauté 8-10 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Roll out each ball of pizza dough into a 14-inch round and place in a prepared pizza pan or pizza stone. Bake dough for 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

Sprinkle top of each pizza with 1 1/3 cups shredded cheese. Return pizzas to oven and continue to bake 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden. Remove from heat.
