Make Caramelized Onion Focaccia
Focaccia is easy to make and goes great with a light meal of pasta or soup. It may be a basic Italian bread, but the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Instructions
1. To prepare the dough, grease two medium bowls. Divide the dough into two equal pieces; turn one at a time onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about three minutes. If necessary, add enough flour to prevent the dough from being sticky.
2. Transfer the dough to the prepared bowls; cover and let the dough rise until it doubles in size, usually about one hour.
3. To make the topping, in a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over low heat. Add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Stir in the sage. Remove from heat; set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease two pizza pans or baking sheets. Punch down the dough; cover with an inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. Roll and stretch each ball of dough to form a round about 12 inches in diameter.
6. Transfer the dough rounds to the prepared pizza pans. Using your fingertips, make indentations in the top of the rounds.
7. Using a pastry brush, brush each round with olive oil from the skillet. Spread half the topping over each.
8. Let the prepared rounds stand until puffy, 12-15 minutes. Bake focaccia until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
