Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 ml Water
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 2 medium Onions
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 100 grams Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Extra olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (about 38°C). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, thinly slice the onions and sauté them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook until they are golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and grease a large baking pan with olive oil.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking pan. Stretch and press the dough evenly across the pan, forming small dimples on the surface with your fingertips.

Step 9

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the dough. Scatter the caramelized onions, rosemary, and crumbled feta cheese evenly across the surface.

Step 10

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
