Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt + more for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup olive oil + more for drizzling
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Add the salt, olive oil, and slowly start mixing in the flour. Knead the dough for 7 minutes or until it is elastic and softer (it will still be slightly sticky). Transfer to a bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rest for 1 ½ hours.
- Grease a baking dish and transfer the dough to the baking dish. Cover again with a cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes more.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle some olive oil on the top and with the help of your fingers, poke deep dents into the surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and distribute the caramelized onion and crumbled blue cheese on top.
- Take to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until done.
