- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Whisk together olive oil, garlic, and salt; mix half into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually stir in flour until forming a soft dough. Allow it to rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter; cook onions until golden brown. Add ground beef and cook until browned; season with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat oven according to dough instructions. Press risen dough into a greased baking sheet or skillet to form a crust and bake for about 10-15 minutes until puffed.
- Spread sauce (mayonnaise mixed with ketchup, lemon juice, parsley) over the crust; layer cooked beef, onions, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake again until bubbly (about another 10-15 minutes). Garnish with additional sauce and parsley before serving.
