Greek-style Pizza with Red Onions Raw red onions are ubiquitous in so-called Greek Salads that one finds in gyros and souvlaki parlors, but cooked lightly they lend a nice flavor to this pizza. Makes 2 - 4 servings.
	Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1package quick-rising yeast such as Fleischmann's Rapid-Rise yeast 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup barely hot water at 125°F to 130°F Olive oil cooking spray 1 medium red onion One14-ounce can artichoke hearts 15 kalamata olives or other Greek black olives 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 2 teaspoons crushed oregano, preferably Greek oregano
	Instructions: 1. Put 2 cups of the flour, yeast, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. 2. With the motor running, add olive oil and 3/4 of the water. 3. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. 4. Then process 30 seconds to knead. 5. Spray a bowl with olive oil cooking spray, put the dough in the bowl, spray the top of the dough, and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. 6. Set aside in a warm, draft-free area. (If mixing by hand, knead dough about 10 minutes before setting aside.) 7. While dough rises, preheat oven to 500°F. 8. Peel and thinly slice onion. 9. Cut artichoke hearts in sixths, or eighths if large. 10. Pit and cut olives in half, or in quarters if large. 11. Chop or crumble feta. 12. After dough has doubled in size (about 20 minutes), punch down and roll out to a diameter of 14 inches for thin-crust pizza, 12 inches for thicker-crust pizza. 13. Place on a pizza stone, pizza pan, or back of a baking sheet. 14. Spread onion slices on the pizza, leaving a border of 1/2 inch all around. 15. Top with artichoke hearts and olives. 16. Sprinkle with cheese, then oregano. 17. Spray edges with olive oil cooking spray. 18. Bake 12 to 15 minutes for thin crust, 3 to 5 minutes for thicker crust or until edges are crisp and bottom nicely browned. Cooking Tip Unlike the sharp, often unpleasant oregano available in most supermarkets spice sections, Greek oregano has a wonderful floral aroma and sweet flavor. It is sold in Middle Eastern stores in dried bunches. When you need to use some, just take a sprig out of the bunch and crush the dried leaves between your fingers.
