Instructions
Measure the dough ingredients in the order listed into the bowl of your bread machine. Choose the dough cycle which should be about 1 hour and 40 minutes. This usually includes the first rise and will knock it down when it's done.
Place the dough into a bowl and coat with a small amount of oil. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm (not hot) place to rise for 30 minutes.
Take this time to caramelize the onions in butter. This takes almost 30 minutes to achieve over medium high heat. They should be golden and sweet. Minced garlic optional. Cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place your dough onto a sheet pan and using your fingers, press into the pan. If it resists you, let it rest for five minutes before proceeding. Use your fingertips to create dimples or impressions in the dough so the filling has a place to go.
Spread the cooled onion topping over the dough and add the shredded cheese and chopped parsley.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the dough is golden on the bottom and cooked through. Depending on your oven, this could take a bit longer.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and cut into serving-sized pieces. Enjoy!
