Set dough out to bring to room temp* (usually takes about an hour, so plan ahead!).

Preheat oven to 425. Lightly oil a heavy duty sheet pan**, place dough in the center.

Wet your fingers, and gently massage dough out to the edges of the sheet pan. This dough will be very pliable if it is fully relaxed at room temperature. If it's still cold, it will be difficult (see pro tip below). If it tears or there are holes, don't panic! Just tear off a little dough from one of the edges (I look to see if there's an extra thick corner) and patch it up! Remember, none of this should be perfect. The more rustic, the better. If your pizza has a hole in it, it will still taste delicious.

Wash and dry produce. Small dice potatoes, place on a separate heavy duty baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle of olive oil, toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, then turn oven up to 475 degrees. The potatoes will be lightly roasted, they finish cooking on the pizza.

Bake naked dough in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove, leave the oven on.

Spread ricotta all over dough. I personally recommend going all the way to the edge, but if you'd like more crust, feel free to leave no more than an inch around the parameter.

Sprinkle cheese, caramelized onions, roasted potatoes. Don't add salt to this one- the toppings and cheese have enough salt already. Season all over with black pepper. Use a heavy hand when seasoning, and be sure to pepper all along the edges- it makes the dough extra delicious!

Drizzle with olive oil. Return to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan, if desired. Cut pizza into either 8 large squares, or 16 smaller rectangles, depending on your mood and how many are eating. Try to wait 5-10 minutes, as to avoid burning the roof of your mouth!

*If you're running behind or forgot to take the dough out of the fridge ahead of time, I place the sheet pan with the dough on top of the stove while it's heating up, massaging it out to the edges every couple of minutes.

**I highly recommend using a heavy duty, ridged sheet pan. These are the ones I prefer and love. I have about 10 of them on hand at any time. They last for years, and truly provide the best results: www.usapan.com/half-sheet (Not an ad! Just a happy, repeat customer!)
