  3. Meanwhile, prepare topping - heat half oil in large pan over medium heat and cook onions for about 25mins, stirring occasionally til soft and golden then add sugar and vinegar and cook for further 3mins. Season and set aside.
  4. Knock back risen dough to original size by punching gently with fist then place on lightly oiled baking sheet and stretch out to square roughly 28cm*28cm. Cover with lightly oiled clingfilm and leave to rise for another 30mins.
