a recipe for three round pizzas

For the pizza dough, thoroughly mix the wheat flour, durum wheat semolina, and sea salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center of the flour. Mix the yeast and sugar in a mug and gradually add the lukewarm water until the yeast is completely dissolved. Add the yeast to the flour in the well and let it rise for 15 minutes. Add the olive oil and knead the ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth dough. Let the yeast dough rise for at least 4 hours in a covered bowl in a warm place, such as an oven at 40°C. Then knead the dough well again, divide it into three pieces, shape them into pizzas on durum wheat semolina, and place them on pizza trays. Let the pizza bases rise in the oven at 40°C top/bottom heat for at least half an hour. For the topping, halve the red onions and slice them lengthwise into thin wedges. Pick the rosemary and thyme leaves from the sprigs and finely chop them. Heat the butter in a pan and briefly sauté the onion wedges with the chopped rosemary and thyme. Then add the brown sugar and caramelize the onions. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cut the bacon slices into approximately 4 cm wide pieces. Drain the mozzarella well and cut into cubes. Coarsely grate the kasar or Gouda. In a bowl, season the sour cream with salt and pepper and mix. Spread the sour cream evenly over the three pizzas, leaving a 2 cm border all around. Distribute the mozzarella cubes, caramelized onions, bacon, and finally the grated kasar or Gouda evenly over the pizzas. Bake the pizzas one after the other in a preheated pizza oven at 350 °C (top/bottom heat) for about 3-5 minutes, until the crusts have risen well and the pizza is crispy brown. In a regular oven at maximum heat, baking will take correspondingly longer.
