Step 1
1. Place the pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 260 degrees. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a ball. Set the dough balls aside. Grate the mozzarella and Parmesan on a coarse grater. Slice the ham into pieces.

2. Finely chop the onion. Remove the core of the fennel and chop it as well. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to turn brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns golden, about 15 minutes.

3. Place one half of the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough into a circle and stretch it outwards. Line a pizza stone with parchment paper and transfer the dough onto it. Top with half of the caramelized onion, fennel, mozzarella, and ham. Bake the pizza for 8–10 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown at the edges. Remove the pizza onto a wire rack, sprinkle with coarsely grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before serving. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to prepare the second pizza.
