Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dry active yeast
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Additional olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and dry active yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and the activated yeast mixture.
Mix the ingredients together to form a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the caramelized onions. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a skillet, melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a round or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread a layer of caramelized onions over each piece of dough, pressing them gently into the surface.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffy.
Brush the cooked flatbreads with additional olive oil, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
