Lunch: Vidalia Onion Tomato Pizza Recipe

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

Instructions

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.
