Focaccia with Onions
Description
This focaccia dough is prepared by combining all-purpose and wholemeal flours with fresh yeast, water, olive oil, and salt, kneaded until soft and non-sticky. It is left to rise until doubled, then spread out in a well-oiled baking tray. The dough is topped with julienned onions, chopped parsley, coarse salt, and olive oil before a second longer rise and baking.
The onions bake atop the focaccia, softening and caramelizing slightly, adding a sweet and savory topping contrast to the tender, fluffy bread beneath. The texture features small indentations that help hold olive oil and toppings, giving bursts of flavor in every bite.
Serve this focaccia warm or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. It pairs well with soups, salads, or cheeses and makes a rustic addition to meals.

- 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.
