Servings: persons

3 whole Onions (on The Smaller Side)
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 pinches Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Honey
1 cup Warm Water (110 F)
1 package (1/4 Oz. Size) Active Dry Yeast
2-3/4 cups Bread Flour, Plus More For Dusting Work Space
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2-1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoons Black Pepepr
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, For Coating Bowl Greasing Baking Sheet
1/4 cups Kalamata Olives, Halved
1 whole Drizzle Of Roasted Garlic Olive Oil, For Finished Bread (optional)

1
Halve and peel 3 small onions and slice them into vertical strips.
2
Heat butter and one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add in the onions and sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt. Cover the skillet, stirring occasionally until onions are a deep golden. The whole caramelizing onions bit takes about 20-25 minutes so you can get crackin' on the dough.
3
Meanwhile make the dough. Mix the honey, warm water and yeast in a small measuring cup or bowl. Let the mixture proof for 10 minutes
4
In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper. Add the yeast/water to the dry ingredients stirring to combine.
5
Continue mixing until the dough has pulled together. Then, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
6
Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat the dough with oil (going up and around the sides of the bowl). Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm/dry place for 30-45 minutes.
7
Preheat oven to 425 F and grease a rimmed baking sheet with a little olive oil.
8
Punch dough down, place it on the greased baking sheet and spread it out using your fingertips. Pat dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle {keep it rustic looking}.
9
Using your knuckles, make indentations in the dough about 1/2-inch apart. If you are making plain (without toppings) then prick dough with a fork in addition to making the indentations.
10
Top the dough with caramelized onions and olives and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown.
11
Remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, drizzle with roasted garlic olive oil, slice and serve!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
