   • Line a large pizza pan or baking sheet with your favorite pizza yeast dough, rolled to about 1/4 inch thick.
   • If using a baking sheet, ensure it has low sides to contain the filling.
   • Press the dough onto the bottom of the pan, leaving slight edges to contain the filling.

2. Prepare the Onions:

   • In a skillet, melt the butter over low heat.
   • Add the thinly sliced yellow onions to the skillet.
   • Cook the onions slowly in the butter until they become transparent and soft, but not browned. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
   • Add the salt, sour cream, flour, and caraway seeds to the beaten eggs.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • Once the onions are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.
   • Mix the cooked onions and butter into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

5. Assemble the Pie:

   • Pour the onion and egg mixture evenly over the prepared pizza dough in the pan, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
   • Bake the onion pie for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • The pie should be golden brown and set when done.

7. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • Cut the pie into squares and serve hot, or allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.
