Ingredients:
– 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
#### Instructions:
1. **Preheat Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
2. **Prepare the Dough:**
– Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. **Add the Tomato Sauce:**
– Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. **Add the Cheese:**
– Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Follow with the grated Parmesan cheese.
5. **Add the Onions and Garlic:**
– Distribute the thinly sliced red onion and minced garlic evenly over the cheese.
6. **Add Fresh Herbs:**
– Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil, parsley, oregano, and chives evenly over the pizza.
7. **Drizzle with Olive Oil:**
– Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the pizza. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
8. **Bake the Pizza:**
– Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. **Finish and Serve:**
– Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
Enjoy your Fresh Herb and Onion Pizza, a fragrant and flavorful treat perfect for any pizza night!
