For me, pizza is a staple of life. I worked at a pizza restaurant after college, and I've been trying ever since to re-create the wonderful pizza crust we served. This version, which my family loves, comes pretty close. -Herman Temple, Shawnee, Kansas

Vidalia Onion Tomato Pizza Recipe

  • Yield: 16 Servings
30 15 45

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) pizza sauce, divided
  • 2 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  • In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add 2 tablespoons oil, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Press dough onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of two greased 14-in. pizza pans. Spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce over each. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onions in remaining oil until tender.
  • Arrange tomato slices over pizzas. Combine cheeses; sprinkle over tomatoes. Top with onions. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Warm remaining pizza sauce; serve with pizza. Yield: 2 pizzas (8 slices each).
