Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp fresh yeast
1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
1 tsp salt
2 cups caramelized onions (about 2 large onions)
1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mixed mozzarella and cheddar)
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm water and fresh yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Gradually mix in flour and salt until you form a sticky dough.
Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook sliced onions until golden brown (about 20 minutes).
Once risen, punch down the dough and fold in caramelized onions and shredded cheese. Shape into an oval loaf.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place shaped dough on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
