Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ¾ cup water (70 to 80 degrees F)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups bread flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

  • 2 medium onions, quartered and sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In bread machine pan, place the first six ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

  2. 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, in a large skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in the Italian seasoning; cook 1 minute longer.

  3. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make deep indentations 1 in. apart in dough. Top with onion mixture and cheeses. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
