Buffa's Birthday Pizza with Sweet Onions

Happy Birthday Buffa!
This pizza pie is for you (even though we ate all of it). It has simple ingredients that come together for a pizza party in your mouth. The sauce here is caramelized onions, spread all over the top. The dough recipe is a new one, but it came out great. You can half it and make two thin crusts, but I used all of it for one and it was doughy and fluffy.... Enjoy.

The toppings you'll need:
- Caramelize 2 onions in a pan- 20-30 minutes, deglaze with a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
- Cook 6 slices of bacon, then chop
- Goat cheese
- Fresh mozarella/bocconcini, sliced
- Chopped, fresh parsley
- Handful of fresh arugula
- Olive oil, salt, pepper.

For the dough:
- In the morning prep your dough.
- In a large bowl, put 1 and 1/2 cup warm to hot water. Sprinkle with 1 tsp pizza yeast and a tbsp olive oil, and a dash of sea salt. Wait 5 minutes until foamy.
- Next add 1 cup all purpose flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. Let sit for 5 minutes and add another 2 cups of flour. Now you judge, maybe you need more... but keep using your spoon to stir/mix, until it doesn't stick to the bowl anymore. No kneading needed!
- Allow dough to rest in an oiled bowl for the day.
- Two hours before dinner, punch it down, and roll it out on a floured surface.
- Place it on a long baking tray and brush with good olive oil.
- Slide it in the oven and let it rise again- two hours.

Assemble and bake!
- Preheat oven to 450. Nice and hot.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove add all toppings except arugula and parsley. - Be sure to spread your onions on like you would a sauce.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the pizza and top with arugula and parsley.
- Drizzle olive oil on top, cut and serve!
