Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 -2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp italian seasoning (combination of oregano, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and sage)
  • 1/4 cup red wine (i usually use a cabernet sauvignon)
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tsp yeast, dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. For the sauce-heat the olive oil and garlic in a large sauce pan. Add the minced onions and sauté until they're translucent.
  2. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until you can't stand it (at least 20 minutes-I usually let it simmer throughout the cooking process), stirring occasionally.
  3. For the dough-mix the flour, salt, sugar, and spices.
  4. Melt the butter in the hot water.
  5. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water (mustn't be too hot, or it'll kill the yeast).
  6. Mix together, knead, and let rise in an oiled bowl (for the duration of the topping onions cooking should be enough).
  7. For the topping-heat the olive oil and minced garlic in a medium sauce pan.
  8. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the onions become softened and slightly translucent (they'll continue to cook in the oven, so ere towards the less-cooked side).
  9. Cut the cheese into 1/4 pieces.
  10. Press the dough into a 9 x9 pan, coated lightly but thoroughly with olive oil.
  11. Insert the pieces of cheese into the dough and let rise a bit (maybe 15 minutes more).
  12. Remove the bay leaf from the sauce, and cover the dough with the sauce (you may not use all of it).
  13. Next, spread the onions over the top.
  14. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough has cooked through.
