Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 bulb fennel thinly sliced
- salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 pound pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup halved and pitted kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to temperature indicated on dough package or recipe.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring often, 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook 5 minutes more or until softened. Uncover and stir in water; continue to stir until the mixture is golden brown. Stir in Italian seasoning and add more salt to taste if needed. Remove from heat.
- While the onion and fennel are cooking, roll out the pizza dough according to package instructions and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the onion and fennel mixture over the crust. Top with the mozzarella cheese and scatter olives over the cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (or time indicated on dough package), or until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden. Remove from oven, sprinkle with grated parmesan (if using), and slice into 6 pieces.
