• Make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 4 tablespoons of the butter into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onions and thyme to the skillet with the remaining butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the sherry to the skillet; cook until evaporated. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and return to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Trim the ends off the bread loaf. Cut the bread on an angle into 12 slices, leaving the bottom of the loaf intact. (You can position chopsticks along the long sides of the bread to keep from cutting all the way through the loaf.) Transfer to the baking sheet.
• Brush the reserved melted butter between the bread slices and all over the loaf. Set aside about one-third of the onions. Fill every other slice of the loaf with the remaining onions, starting with the first slice. Fold the roast beef and tuck into the onion-filled slices, along with the cheese.

• **When I am out of rye bread, I use HomePride wheat bread. Also, my husband and I have found the best deli style smoked ham at Wal-Mart Supercenters. It is from Land O' Frost and is called DAGWOOD smoked ham. Absolutely the best in our opinion!

HAM AND SWISS WITH CARAMELIZED ONION ON RYE PIZZA

Steps:

• Begin by making the caramelized onions: Melt the butter over low heat in a heavy-bottomed mid-sized saucepan. Put onions in the pot, sprinkle the pinch each of salt and sugar over the onions and toss to coat with the butter.
• Stir occasionally until onions begin to become soft and start giving up their juices. Continue cooking over low for about 35 minutes, adding a splash of balsamic vinegar any time the onions begin to look as if they're drying out.
• The onions are done when they are so tender it seems they're melting. They should be moist, but not sitting in pools of liquid.
• Remove from the heat.
• Preheat oven (and baking stone, if available) to 500°F.
• Make 2 small rounds or 1 bigger one with the dough. Place leftover dough in the fridge. I make it directly on silpat.
• Sprinkle caraway seeds about 1/2 inch around the edge. Maybe a little coarse salt, too.
• Divide the caramelized onions evenly between the two crusts, spreading near the edges.
• Fold the ham slices gently onto the crust, covering most of the onions.
• Arrange the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the top.
• If not on silpat, use a peel or your hands to slide the parchment and crust onto the pizza stone.
• Bake for 6-9 minutes, depending on how crispy you prefer your crust. Six minutes will give you a softer, lighter colored crust.
• Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
• If desired, serve with the dijon mayonnaise for dipping.
