Description

Delight in the warm, aromatic flavors of homemade Rosemary Focaccia with Onions—golden, fluffy, and perfect for any meal or gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups warm water (around 110°F)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2.25 teaspoons)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil (divided)
  • 2 medium onions, caramelized
  • A generous handful of fresh rosemary, chopped or whole

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour, salt, and half of the olive oil until fully combined.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about eight minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about one hour).
  5. While the dough rises, slice the onions thinly. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook onions slowly for about fifteen minutes until soft and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch into your desired shape (rectangle or circle) and dimple the surface with fingers.
  8. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the dough. Scatter caramelized onions and chopped rosemary evenly on top. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  9. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for about twenty-five minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
