Autolysed Focaccia with Caramelized Onions

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 300g of all-purpose flour and 200ml of water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes to autolyse.

   After the autolyse period, add 5g of salt and 5g of instant yeast to the dough. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

6. 6

   Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a well-oiled baking tray. Stretch and press the dough to fit the tray, creating dimples with your fingers.

7. 7

   Drizzle 10ml of olive oil over the surface of the dough and spread it evenly.

8. 8

   Evenly distribute 100g of caramelized onions over the top of the dough.
