Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add sliced onion. Cook covered, about 12 min. or until tender. Uncover, cook and stir over med-high heat for 3-5 min. more. Set aside.
Spray non stick on 13×9 baking sheet. Stretch dough out to evenly cover surface. Prick generously with a fork. Bake on the lowest rack about 8 min. or until puffed and lightly crisped.
