Ingredients
For the Flatbread Dough
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon instant yeast
-
3/4 cup warm water
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Topping
-
2 large onions, sliced into rings
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 teaspoon honey
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 cup soft goat cheese
-
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
-
Fresh thyme sprigs
-
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then stir until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Caramelize the Onions
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft. Stir in honey, salt, and black pepper for extra flavor.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Divide the dough into 2 portions and roll each into an oval flatbread shape. Place on a lined baking tray.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Spread the caramelized onions over each flatbread. Add small spoonfuls of goat cheese, sprinkle with walnuts, and place fresh thyme on top.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust turns golden and crisp.
Step 6: Finish & Serve
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the warm flatbreads before serving. Enjoy warm with a fresh salad or soup.
