2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 envelope (1/4-ounce) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F.)
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil.

When the oil is hot, add the onions.
3
Season with salt and pepper.
4
Saute until caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Remove from the heat and cool completely.
6
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, whisk the yeast, sugar, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, warm water, and caramelized onions together for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast.
7
Add the salt and flour.
8
With the mixer on low, mix until the dough starts to come together.
9
Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and crawls up the dough hook.
10
Grease a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon of the oil.
11
Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once.
12
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place until the dough doubles in size about 1 1/2 hours.
13
Grease a half baking sheet pan (17 by 12) with 2 teaspoons of the oil.
14
Turn the dough out onto a baking sheet.
15
Punch the dough down and press the dough out to form the pan.
16
Brush the dough with remaining 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
17
Sprinkle the dough with kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
18
Lightly cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 1 hour.
19
Bake the dough for 30 to 35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
20
Slice the bread into individual pieces or into sandwich slices.
