Cook time: 7 to 8 minutes, plus time to cook the caramelized onions
To make the Caramelized Onions: In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high, heat oil. Add onions and cook until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add sugar and stir until onions are lightly caramelized. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
To make the Sauce: Combine pizza sauce, cheese, wine, oregano, and salt.
To prepare the Pizza and Garnishes: Preheat the oven to 575°F. On a floured surface, stretch dough to an approximate 14-inch round. Top with 6 ounces pizza sauce, Mozzarella, tomatoes, Feta and Manchego. Bake until pizza is golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add Ricotta in dollops, then top with arugula and drizzle with oil. Set aside to rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
