Prepare the pizza dough following our instructions. If you prepare your pizza with our recipe, total fat and calories are less.
While the pizza dough is rising, prepare the onion sauce for the topping. Pour into a pan 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the aromatic herbs, puréed tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with white wine (very little) and season to taste with salt.
Cook over a medium heat, half-covered, until the cooking juice is well reduced. It takes about 15 minutes.
If you have no fresh onions, it would be a good idea to put the peeled onions in a bowl full of water or milk for some hours; in this way you obtain to remove their strong flavour.
When the dough has risen, divide it into four pieces and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece. You can obtain the shape you want: rectangular or round. The doses are enough for four 30 cm (12in) round baking sheets if you like crunchy pizza but if you prefer soft pizza use only two baking sheets.
Oil the baking sheets with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Transfer every portion of the dough to a baking sheet.
For each pizza, spread half of the onion sauce to within 1/2 inch (1,2 cm) of the rim. Allow to rise about 20 minutes in a warm place.
Meanwhile preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and cube the mozzarella.
Bake the two pizzas for about 15 minutes, then remove them from the oven and arrange the mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake again for about 5 minutes. Cooking times are indicative; everyone can adjust them to his oven.
Serve hot or warm.
