Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Extra olive oil
Instructions
Add the water (at room temperature), olive oil, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Add the all-purpose flour on top of the wet ingredients, making sure it fully covers the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast, ensuring it doesn’t touch the wet ingredients.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and press start. This will mix, knead, and proof the dough for you.
While the dough is being prepared, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
When the 'Dough' cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and transfer it to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Using your fingers, gently press the dough into the pan to fill it evenly. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
After the dough has rested, use your fingers to dimple the surface of the dough. Drizzle extra olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with fresh rosemary and spread the caramelized onions evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the onions.
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve warm and enjoy!
