Description

Ingredients

• CRUST
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¾ tsp salt
• ¾ cup milk (preferably whole milk)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• TOPPING
• 2 tbsp (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 large onions, halved, thinly sliced (about ⅛ thick)
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 1½ cups crumbled blue cheese

Directions

• TO MAKE THE CRUST
• Preheat your oven to 425⁰F
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt
• In a bowl or in a measuring cup, combine milk, olive oil and butter and whisk to blend.
• Make a well in your dry ingredients then slowly pour your milk mixture into it and stir until combined and smooth. Your crust is almost done!
• Put your dough on a lightly floured counter and roll it into a 10x13-inch rectangle. Transfer dough to a baking sheet. It might shrink a little when you move it, no sweat; just reform it with your hands.
• Pierce it all over with a fork. Leave it aside while you’re making the onions.
• TO MAKE THE TOPPINGS
• Take a large skillet and melt butter and oil over high heat, once the butter starts bubbling, add your onions.
• Cook the onions until soft and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Stir often.
• Then add the rosemary, sugar and salt and reduce your heat to medium.
• Let them cook for another 20 minutes or so, until very soft and deep dark drown. This step is crucial; you need to be patient, this is where the onions get all their sweetness and flavors. Once you think they are done, add a splash of white wine or water to deglaze the pan, stirring well so the onions absorb all that flavorful liquid. Season with some pepper and let them cool a bit.
• Spread your lovely onion mixture all over your dough and then sprinkle your crumbled cheese.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until your crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Your kitchen will smell amazing at that point!
• Once cooled, cut into squares.
