Vidalia Onion Tomato Pizza

By: Herman Temple

"For me, pizza is a staple of life. I worked at a pizza restaurant after college, and I've been trying ever since to re-create the wonderful pizza crust we served. This version, which my family loves, comes pretty close. -Herman Temple, Shawnee, Kansas"

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 (15 ounce) cans pizza sauce, divided
2 large Vidalia or sweet onions, thinly sliced
4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add 2 tablespoons oil, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Press dough onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of two greased 14-in. pizza pans. Spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce over each. Bake at 450 degrees F for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onions in remaining oil until tender.
Arrange tomato slices over pizzas. Combine cheeses; sprinkle over tomatoes. Top with onions. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Warm remaining pizza sauce; serve with pizza.
