Caramelized Mushroom and Tamarind Pizza

Let’s make a caramelized onion and tamarind pizza in my new Salton Indoor Pizza Oven from Home Hardware. Pizza is my weakness, and there's nothing like a delicious homemade one. This oven safely reaches the perfect pizza-cooking temperature of 800F and features 15 pre-programmed cooking functions. My pizza cooked in the oven in just under 3 minutes, achieving a restaurant-quality taste.
