Focaccia with Onions

Focaccia with Onions combines white and wholemeal flours to create a soft, airy dough topped with julienned onions, coarse salt, and fresh parsley. The slow rise and gentle indentations on the surface give it a pleasing texture and flavor. Olive oil is used both in the dough and as a topping, enriching the bread's golden crust and moist interior.
