Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2 x 12 inch baking sheet with olive oil.
Cover dough with a towel and allow to come to room temperature and slightly rise. Stretch the ball of dough until it reaches the edges of the baking sheet.* Brush with 2 T. olive oil; dimple the dough with your fingers. Bake for 6 - 8 minutes until puffy on top. Remove from the oven to cool completely.
Caramelized Onions:
Preheat a large skillet over low heat; add the olive oil; add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, (to prevent browning) for about 30 - 45 minutes. Add more olive oil, as necessary. Deglaze the skillet with a tablespoon of water if brown bits form on the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat; set aside.
Assembly:
Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees.
In a small bowl, add mozzarella, ricotta, garlic and thyme; stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the mozzarella mixture on top of the crust; evenly spread on the caramelized onions; sprinkle the Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is golden brown, about 12-14 minutes.
4 servings.
*If the dough bounces back after stretching, allow the dough to rest for additional time at room temperature.
