🥄 Texture

Crispy and golden on the outside from pan-frying, with light puffing and thin, tender crumb inside. The caramelized onions add a soft, slightly sticky topping that contrasts pleasantly with the flatbread's chew.

👃 Aroma

Strong sweet-onion aroma from the caramelized onions with warm, toasty notes from the pan-cooked flatbread. Overall it smells savory-sweet and comforting, with a light nutty caramel scent.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp pilsner or a dry, acidic white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc) to cut the sweetness; alternatively sparkling water with lemon or an unsweetened iced tea.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, a yogurt-tahini or tzatziki dip, and roasted or pickled vegetables (e.g., roasted red peppers, olives, or quick-pickled cucumbers).

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add warm water and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While dough rests, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Divide dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, gently stretch each ball into a thin oval or round flatbread (about ¼ inch thick).

  4. 4

    Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.

  5. 5

    Top each warm flatbread with caramelized onions and serve immediately. Enjoy plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
