Ingredients
  

  • 1 11 inches Ultra-thin pizza crust
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 large onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 pickled hot peppers, sliced optional
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Kashkaval or Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp sweet Hungarian-style paprika

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 420ºF (215ºC).

    Add minced onions and cook slowly until golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning
