Crumble the yeast in a small bowl then add 1/4 cup of warm water and the syrup

Put the flour and salt in a mixer fitted with a dough hook and give it a quick spin to mix

Put the ball of dough in a large bowl and drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top to keep it from forming a skin as it proofs

When the dough has proofed it will double in size and look spongy

For the topping: Caramelize the onions in a frying pan over low heat with a little olive oil and one of rosemary sprigs

When the onions are golden season with sea salt and black pepper and a few drops of lemon juice to bring out the flavor

When the dough has proofed, roll it out onto to a floured surface and punch the air out with your hands, then start shaping it into a circle When it's stretched out, dust a pizza paddle with flour and place the dough on it
