Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 3–4 cloves garlic
  • 1 whole onion
Peel and chop the garlic; set aside.
Dice the onion as finely as possible.
  • oil
Heat a wide pan on high, add a little oil and the onions; stir nonstop.
  • white wine
After about five minutes, when brown forms on the edges and fond on the pan, deglaze with just enough white wine to release the brown bits; repeat whenever it threatens to burn.
Cook until all pieces are silky and amber, about 15 minutes in all.
  • pizza dough
Turn off the heat, add the garlic and cook a couple of minutes; add a little more liquid for a spreadable sauce.
Finishing the onion sauce
Set an oven grate near the top element and turn the broiler on full right before shaping the dough.
Setting up the oven-grate method
  • flour
Roll the cold dough out evenly, wider than wanted, flouring liberally; roll it gently around the tip of the rolling pin.
Unroll the dough onto the hot grates like a scroll, hooking the ends around the grates; broil side one until brown, popping big bubbles with tongs.
Browning side one and flipping
  • parmesan
  • Gruyere
  • whole-milk low-moisture string cheese mozzarella
Flip with tongs; spread a thin layer of onion sauce, scatter parmesan, then the Gruyere and mozzarella blend.
Return under the top element and cook until melty and brown.
Final bake and fresh thyme
  • fresh thyme
Move to a cooling rack and scatter fresh thyme to cook a little in the residual heat.
