CARAMELISED ONION FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Mix the flours with the yeast and salt, add 1 tbsp oil, then pour in 320ml lukewarm water and mix well. You want a very soft dough - don't worry if it looks a little wet, this will make a lighter focaccia. Knead for 5 mins if using a stand mixer, or 10 mins by hand, using a dough scraper if you have one and lightly oiling your hands and the surface. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise until it has doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan with the remaining oil, add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook gently for 20 mins or until very soft. Pour in the vinegar and cook for a further 10 mins until sticky. Set aside to cool.
• Oil an A4-sized roasting tin, scrape in the dough and reshape in the tin (see tip, below), gently pushing the dough into the corners. Scatter over the onions, cover with a piece of lightly oiled cling film and leave until puffed up.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Using your fingers, lightly dimple the dough all over, drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 30 mins until golden brown. Can be made the day before and stored in an airtight container.

REVIEWS: If you love caramelized onions and good bread, this is the recipe for you! Delicious and fluffy bread with an amazing onion topping. Very filling, could make a great meal with soup and a salad. FANTASTIC! Made exactly as written except I added 1 tsp. dried rosemary to the dough ingredients. This is the lightest, fluffiest foccacia bread I have ever had...will use again as a pizza dough base. Thanks so much for sharing!! I have made foccacia in the past, but this recipe is delicious. The dough was easy to work with and the bread was lovely and moist. Like other reviewers, my onions had been too fine and were overdone by the end of cooking. I drizzled the hot bread with some olive oil before serving with spaghetti and meatballs. Next time I will try adding the onions nearer the end of cooking. Whole family loved this and have requested that it be made again soon. I made this with the onion topping to start with. I should have sliced the onions, as in your recipe, instead of chopping them. By the time I had caramelised them and then they baked on top of the bread, there wasn't much substance to the onion! I had chopped them too finely. I doubled the recipe and made two batches for my cooking class and we tried all sorts of toppings; garlic and thyme, olives, sun-dried tomatoes. All wonderful. This was so easy and so good! I will be using this frequently. Can't wait to try this with other toppings as well. Thanks! My first Foccacia bread and I love it. Made it as directed first time & was great. Next time I made a pizza with onion, mushroom, red pepper & pineapple. Wonderful!! Thanks so much for a great recipe. This was incredibly easy and good. I will only make foccacia dough this way from now on. I put the cookie sheet on top of my pizza stone and the crust was perfect. Can't wait to make it again and try other toppings. This is an awesome bread, and has become one of our regular recipes around here. I usually sprinkle a little garlic salt on it and add some olives. I like to use sweet onions, and I cook them on a med-low heat the whole time the doubh is going. Too good! I have already made it twice in the past 3 days. I used red onion both times and a few mushrooms the second time around. It is yummmmmy! We all ate it as it is-couldn't wait to make anything else with it. Fabulous recipe! Thanks for submitting. 5+ stars. I let my onions cook on the stove for close to an hour so that they were very carmelized. The dough was beautiful to work with. Something I learned from a TV food show was to grease the cookie sheet with olive oil. I used fresh mozzarella. Everything went together so well. Oh, the flavor! Oh Man this was great, even with my mistakes. I forgot to make the depressions in the dough and it turned out like a wonderful pizza. The dough is really sticky, so I had to flour my hands in order to spread it out. I added a some Itialin seasoning, some paprika and a little extra cheese and mine was done in exactly 15 minutes. What a wonderful bread this is. Thanks so much. My first Foccacia, but not my last. I chose this recipe after seeing SueL's photo and am so happy I did. This was so easy to make & we enjoyed the bread very much. Thanks for sharing a recipe I will use again. Easy and delicious! I loved the flavor the caramelized onions gave. Very savory! I also added a pinch of dried herbs to the topping before baking. Great recipe - thanks for posting!

MINI CARAMELIZED ONION FOCACCIA

Steps:

• For dough:
• Whisk together the warm water, yeast, sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl; let stand until yeast is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk 1 1/4 cups flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture clumps together. Mix until incorporated. Add more flour, a little at a time, if dough is too wet.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; roll each into a ball. Place on a flour-dusted baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes. (Dough can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep covered and refrigerate.)

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion slices to skillet and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook onions without turning until they are softened and beginning to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Bake flatbreads until crusts are puffed and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese on top of each mini focaccia. Transfer to serving platter and serve immediately.

RUSTIC SOURDOUGH FOCACCIA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• To Make the dough:.
• Place all ingredients for dough, except for the tablespoon of flour in the machine and run the dough cycle.
• Add more water if necessary to for a very wet dough that barely holds its shape and does not leave the bottom of the pan. (I've never had to do this).
• At the end of the cycle, remove the bucket from the bread machine, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-18 hours (Note: the recipe as originally written said here to sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the dough before covering and refrigerating. That might be required if the dough were likely to rise and touch the plastic wrap, but I've never had that happen after making this recipe many, many times [Unless making multiple recipes, I always refrigerate in the bread machine bucket]. If you transfer the dough to a not-so-large bowl and are concerned about it, by all means, sprinkle away).
• If you don't have a bread machine and want to use a stand mixer:.
• - Put all the ingredients, starting with the starter, in the bowl of a stand mixer.
• - Mix on low, starting with the paddle attachment for 20 minutes. Feel free to switch to a dough hook when you feel it's appropriate.
• - Allow to rise for 90 minutes.
• - Mix for one minute and then proceed as directed above.
• To Finish the Focaccia:.
• Pour the dough into a 9x13" baking pan that has been prepared with olive oil and corn meal.
• Cover the dough with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Then remove from the fridge and, leaving the dough covered, allow to rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, caramelize the onions (using 1-2 medium onions) with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Preheat the oven to 475°F.
• After the two-hour rise at room temperature, spread the onions over the dough.
• Sprinkle the remaining olive oil and the salt over the dough.
• Bake 20-25 minutes until the top is crusty and a rich golden brown color.
• Eat hot, warm, or at room temperature.
