Ingredients

3/4 cup water (70° to 80°)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 medium onions, quartered and sliced
1/4 cup butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Place the first six ingredients in a bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
When the cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly greased 12-in. pizza pan; pat into a 10-in. circle. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute onions in butter in a large skillet until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; cook 1 minute longer.
Make deep indentations 1 in. apart in dough, using the end of a wooden spoon handle. Top with onions and cheeses. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
