Method

  • step 1

    Make the basic dough, adding 2 tbsp olive oil and only a pinch of salt. While the dough is rising, cook onions in 1 tbsp olive oil for 5 mins until soft, then set aside.

  • step 2

    When the dough has risen, knock it back and stretch it to fit an oiled Swiss roll tin about 25 x 35cm. Leave the dough to prove for about 20 mins.

  • step 3

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the onions over the dough and scatter with the rosemary. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples, drizzle the remaining oil over and scatter over the salt, then bake for 30 mins until golden. Leave to cool, then serve cut or torn into squares.

Nice bread. I kept the 1tsp of salt in the dough. I also fried up some roasted clove of garlic and some small tomatoes cut in half. The dough was hard to stretch/press out as I folded half the fried veggies into the dough, followed by an extra proof. This required extra flour to flatten. I will be…

I only added a pinch of salt to the dough, as per the instructions. I think it needed more - I’ll add 1tsp next time. I didn’t add the full 3tbsp oil to the top of the dough before baking as it seemed like too much - a mistake - I will next time! We ate half and froze half. Will definitely make…
