Caramelized Onion & Brie Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    CRUST
    1 1/2 cups water, lukewarm
    3 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    1 cup semolina flour
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    2 teaspoons instant yeast
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    TOPPING
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    4 large yellow onions, about 2 pounds peeled and thinly sliced (about 7 cups)
    14 ounces brie cheese, rind removed, cut into cubes
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup sliced almonds
Preparation
    CRUST:
    Mix and knead dough ingredients to make a smooth, shiny and just slightly sticky doug.
    Allow dough to rise, covered, while you make the topping.
    TOPPING:
    In large skillet, heat oil.
    add onions and cook, stirring often, until translucent and browning on edges.
    Add vinegar, sugar and salt and cook until evenly browned and all liquid is evaporated.
    Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
    Place pizza stone in middle of oven and preheat to 425.
    Divide dough in half, pat and roll into two 12\" pizzas on two semolina dusted pieces of parchment paper.
    Cover each dough with a layer of onions, then scatter the Brie.
    Grind a sprinkling of fresh pepper over top and scatter with almonds.
    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until crust is brown.
    For thicker crust, let the pizzas rise for 30 to 60 minutes before baking.
    Serve hot or at room temperature.
