Cooking steps

1

Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl. Pour in warm water and mix until a sticky dough forms. Let rest 5 minutes.
2

Add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1.5 tsp kosher salt. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm spot for about 60–75 minutes, until doubled in size.
3

Meanwhile, slice onions thinly. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and 0.5 tsp salt. Slowly caramelize for 18–22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden but not burnt. Set aside.
4

Oil a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tbsp olive oil. Stretch the risen dough gently into the pan, pressing all the way to the edges. Use your fingers to dimple the surface deeply. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
5

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Evenly scatter the caramelized onions over the dough. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with fresh rosemary and black pepper. Bake for 21–24 minutes, until the focaccia is deeply browned and crisp on the edges. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Best Easy Focaccia con Cipolle Recipe?

The two ingredients central to this dish’s identity are extra-virgin olive oil—used in the dough, pan, and topping for rich flavor and texture—and sweet caramelized yellow onions on top. These give Focaccia con Cipolle its signature savory-sweet taste and wonderfully tender crumb with a crisp crust.

Q. How do I prevent my focaccia from being too dry or underbaked?

Careful attention to proofing and baking times is key: let the dough rise until doubled for a light texture, and bake at 425°F until it’s deeply browned and crisp on the edges. Spreading enough olive oil in the pan and dimpling the dough ensures even moisture and prevents dryness.

Q. What are the nutrition details per serving for this recipe?

Each serving of this focaccia (about 110g) contains 290 kcal: 43g carbohydrates (59% of calories), 7g protein (10%), and 9g fat (31%). The recipe is vegetarian and aligns closely with Mediterranean dietary principles.

Q. Which step is most important for developing great texture and flavor?

Caramelizing the onions slowly over medium-low heat until golden ensures sweet, rich flavor. Equally crucial is proper dough dimpling and baking at high heat for an airy crumb and crisp crust. Don’t rush these steps—they define the signature texture of focaccia.
