Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 medium sweet onions, caramelized
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

In a bowl, mix warm water with yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Add olive oil and the frothy yeast mixture. Knead until smooth (about 8 minutes).
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
Caramelize onions in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown (15-20 minutes).
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface. Spread caramelized onions and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Roll tightly into a log shape, seam-side down in a greased loaf pan, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
