Onion and Black Pepper Flat Bread
Serves 6 to 8
Cooking Spray
2 tbsp. plus 4 tsp. olive oil
1¼ cups chopped onion
1 cup warm water (about 110°F.)
1 packet fast-acting yeast
1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt, preferably coarse sea salt
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1. Preheat oven to 500°F. and coat two large baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of the onions and cook for 3 minutes, until soft. Set aside.
3. Place warm water in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, ¾ teaspoon of the black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Add the cooked onion and 1 cup of the flour and mix well. Add the remaining flour and mix with a dough hook (or your hands) until a manageable dough forms.
4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 15 seconds. Quarter dough and form each piece into a ¼-in.-thick round. Transfer the rounds to the prepared baking sheets and, using a finger, press indentations into the dough at 1-in. intervals.
5. Drizzle remaining 4 teaspoons of olive oil over the rounds and top with remaining ¼ cup onion, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely before serving or packing.
