- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 rounds homemade pizza dough or frozen bread dough pinch
- Chili flakes
- 3 1/2 C. Swedish fontina cheese, grated (loosely packed)
- 20 slices red onions, sliced very thinly

Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 500 F. and place a baking stone or tile in to heat. Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and the unpeeled garlic cloves. Sauté, stirring regularly, until the garlic skin begins to caramelize. Transfer to the oven and roast until the cloves become uniformly golden brown. Remove and cool.When cool, remove the roasted garlic from the skins and place into a small bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon to make a paste. Roll the dough into roughly 10" rounds using a pie pin or by pounding and stretching the dough. Sprinkle a light cutting board or pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina and lay the dough down on it. Spread the garlic paste over the dough then sprinkle the chili flakes evenly and spread the fontina cheese over the dough, leaving a half inch rim without cheese. Next distribute the sliced tomatoes followed by the onion rings. Arrange the cherry tomatoes evenly over the cheese and onions and sprinkle the fresh mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.Bake for ten to 15 minutes or until the edge of the crust becomes golden brown and the cheese bubbles in the center. Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Sprinkle the chopped basil over and cut each into six or eight pieces. Serve immediately.
