How to make FOCACCIA WITH ONIONS:

  • Mix the white flour with the wholemeal flour and salt and make a well in the middle.
  • Heat 100 ml (3.4 fl. oz) of water slightly and add the yeast.
  • Leave the yeast for 10 minutes then pour it over the flour.
  • Start kneading gently and gradually add the rest of the water and the oil.
  • You should get a soft and non-sticky dough. If necessary, add more flour or water.
  • Grease a large baking tray with olive oil.
  • Place the dough in the pan and turn it several times so that it is oiled on all sides.
  • Cover the dough with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in volume.
  • Julienne the onion and chop the parsley, but not too finely.
  • After an hour, using your fingers, gently roll the dough in the pan so that it reaches the edges.
  • Make small indentations all over the dough.
  • Sprinkle coarse salt on top, then the onion and parsley.
  • Pour over the olive oil.
  • Leave the dough to rise for another 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to high (200 degrees Celsius or 390 Fahrenheit) and bake the onion focaccia until nicely browned on top, about 25-30 minutes.
  • It's delicious hot or cold.
  • Enjoy!
