FOCACCIA WITH ONIONS AND TOMATOES

Appetizer - vegetarian - lactose free

4 cups 00 Italian flour
1 tsp dry active yeast
1 tsp sugar
2/3 cup Italian extra virgin olive oil
2 small white onions, slices
2 tomatoes, sliced
salt

Combine 1 cup of warm water and 1/4 cup oil in a bowl, then stir in sugar and yeast. Add flour little by little, mixing until dough detaches from the bowl.

Transfer onto a floured working surface and knead for about 5-8 minutes, until you obtain a well combined, smooth, elastic dough.

Slightly grease a bowl and transfer the dough in it; let it rise for about 1 hr.

In the meantime, sautee onions in a non stick skillet with a little olive oil, for 5 minutes. Sprinkle tomato slices with salt, so they will lose the water in excess.

Preheat oven to 450.

Grease a 9x13" baking pan and line it with the focaccia dough, top with tomato slices and sauteed onions, drizzle with oil and bake for 20 minutes.

Serve immediately.


- It can be served with other vegetable, cold cuts, cheeses....
