  • In a large mixing bowl, add warm water and yeast. Blend well using a hand whisk or a hand mixer at low speed.

  • Slowly add the remaining 2 cups of flour using a wooden spoon or mixer with a dough hook and mix until a firm dough is formed.
  • Set aside and cover the bowl using a kitchen towel, then let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, cut the onion in half and slice into thin 1/8” slices.
  • Using a sauté pan, add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the pan and heat to medium heat. Add onions and stir to coat the onions in the oil.
  • Cook for approximately 5 minutes while continuing to stir the onions, sprinkle with .5 tsp of salt, then cook for 1 minute and add .25 cups of warm water to the pan.
  • Cook for about 3 more minutes then add banana pepper rings to the pan.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low then cook for about 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally until both the onions and peppers are nicely browned.
  • Place a pizza stone in a cold propane oven, then preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Using a wooden pizza peel, sprinkle the surface with 1.5 Tbsp of flour, then remove your pizza dough and press into the wooden surface.
  • Slowly flatten the dough using your hands or a rolling pin, about halfway thru prick multiple times with a fork, then continue to flatten until you form a 12-14” round or oval, it should be about half an inch thick.
  • Prick the dough multiple times with a fork, then bake for 2 minutes at 450 degrees.
  • Carefully remove the crust from the oven using your pizza peel and let it rest for about 1 minute.
  • Spread 1-cup pizza sauce evenly over the surface and then place your onions and peppers over the top of the sauce. Top with 6 oz Cabot whole milk shredded mozzarella cheese and then place on your pepperoni and sausage.
  • Bake for an additional 11 minutes at 450 degrees.
  • Carefully remove the pizza from the propane oven using your pizza peel and let it rest for 3-4 minutes. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
