Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (100°F to 110°F)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large sweet onions, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: Dried Italian herbs
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
- Gradually add flour and salt to the yeast mixture, followed by olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Meanwhile, sauté sliced onions in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown (15-20 minutes). Set aside.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread sautéed onions evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheeses.
- Roll up tightly from one end, pinch seams closed, and place seam-side down on parchment paper. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing.
