Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 4 medium Yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually stir in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for around 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, prepare the caramelized onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced yellow onions to the skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Lower the heat if they start to brown too quickly.

Step 7

Stir in the balsamic vinegar, cook for 1 more minute, and remove from heat. Set the onions aside to cool.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 9

Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and gently stretch it to fit the pan's dimensions. Use your fingertips to create dimples all over the surface of the dough.

Step 10

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough and sprinkle with the fresh rosemary leaves and flaky sea salt.

Step 11

Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the surface of the dough, pressing them gently into the dimples.

Step 12

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and crisp around the edges.

Step 13

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 14

Slice the focaccia into wedges or squares, and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the caramelized onion goodness!
