Italian onion flat bread focaccia

Research

• Notice in the pictures above how thin the focaccia is and the delicious crust. Also how the tips of the onions have burnt.
• Odette said to use big white onions and to soak them in water if I find them strong. They likely use sourdough and scatter salt and oil freely (the best way).
• She also reminded me of the name of the bakery [Panificio Caligine Giovanna](Panificio Caligine Giovanna).
• Here is a sourdough starter I will try.

Attempt 1

Ingredients

• 1 warm cup water
• 1/2 tsp yeast (saf-levure)
• 2 cups flour (Molino Grassi la farina per pizzae focaccia)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup semolina

Method

• Mix dough
• Rest for 90 mins
• Stretched onto a sheet of baking paper and a further rest for 90 mins
• Chopped onions and soaked in olive oil for 15 minutes
• Spread the onions over the top of the flat dough with an excessive pouring of olive oil and salt
• Baked at 220 °C for 20 mins

Reflection

• Too much salt. Lovely balance of onion. The dough wasn't crispy on the underside and was a little thicker than the original. The onions burnt just as I had hoped like the original. The smell, while it was baking, was just fabulous.

Dough rested in a room with an ambient temperature of 21°C

Tim Messerschmidt (@SeraAndroid) https://twitter.com/SeraAndroid/status/1277240222074523648 says it looks like Flammkuchen without the game. Flammkuchen is like German pizza and it does look similar, the crust on this recipe certainly is close https://www.curiouscuisiniere.com/flammkuchen-german-pizza/.

Andrea Donno (@AndreaDonno) while Andrea disagreed it was focaccia he might have just discovered a winner.
