Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 medium sweet onions, caramelized
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 2. Make the Dough Base: Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with olive oil.
- 3. Knead: Combine ingredients and knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4. Caramelize Onions: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add sliced onions, and cook until golden brown (15-20 minutes).
- 5. Incorporate Onions & Cheese: Once dough has doubled in size (about an hour), fold in caramelized onions and shredded cheese.
- 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape dough into a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet; let rise again for about 30 minutes before baking for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
