Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese & Walnut Flatbread

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.

Tips

  • Toast the walnuts lightly for deeper flavor.

  • Add a little mozzarella if you want extra creaminess.

  • Fresh rosemary also works beautifully in this recipe.
