White Pizza with Onion

The white pizza with onion is made with the classic pizza dough, but then the topping… with lots of onion!!!
The onion to put on the base for the pizza was prepared in a very simple and clever way… keep reading!!!
Certainly, not everyone loves this ingredient on pizza, but I invite you to try it at least once.
I season the onion with salt and then let it drain for a bit, and this way the onion gets flavored while losing water, so when baking, it won’t stay too soggy, and you’ll have a fantastic pizza… if you thought that before making onion pizza this way, I wouldn’t dare!!!
What do you think? Have I piqued your curiosity enough to make it at home for your family?
