How to Make Rustic Sourdough Focaccia With Caramelized Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, water, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and caramelized (about 30-40 minutes).
  7. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking pan. Gently stretch the dough to cover the bottom of the pan.
  8. Drizzle the dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and caramelized onions.
  9. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
