Step-by-Step Instructions

Caramelize the onions by slicing them thinly and heating olive oil in a skillet. Cook for 20-30 minutes until golden.
Cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy, then crumble it.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using store-bought dough, let it sit for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough.
Assemble the pizza by brushing dough with maple syrup, layering mozzarella, caramelized onions, and bacon.
Bake the pizza on a preheated stone or sheet for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
Top with fresh arugula, cool for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
