Directions:In large bawl, combine 3 cups of the flour and salt. In small bowl, combine yeast and warm water; stir to dissolve. Add oil. Add to flour mixture and stir well. Stir in additional flour, if needed, to make soft dough. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and let rest while cooking onions. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sugar. Cook and stir until onion is carmelized, about 20 minutes. (onion should be golden, not browned) Cool slightly.
Lightly grease 14-inch pizza pan and dust with cornmeal. Pat dough into pan. Form rim of dough around outside edge. Cut 7-inch "X" in center of circle. Cut each section in half to form 8 wedges. Spread onion in 3-inch wide border evenly around edge of border. Sprinkle thyme over onions. Top with red pepper and cheese. Pull points of dough over filling. Moisten under side of point with water and press firmly to seal rim of dough, forming ring shape. Lightly brush dough with remaining olive oil. Bake in 425°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned
