FOCACCIA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, PEAR AND BLUE CHEESE



Focaccia With Caramelized Onions, Pear and Blue Cheese image

Found this recipe on pg. 96 of the January 2011 issue of Food & Wine magazine. I'd never attempted focaccia before and this was super easy (although time consuming) and tasted fantastic! The recipe below is as listed in the magazine, but when I made it I doubled the pear and blue cheese. I think next time I'm going to add some chopped and roasted walnuts.

Provided by Erin K. Brown

Categories     Breads

Time 2h55m

Yield 1 9x13-inch, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup warm water
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry active yeast
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 1/2 cups flour
9 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 large bosc pear, cored and sliced
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbles

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and honey and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the flour and 1/4 cup of the oil; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour and the salt and knead until smooth. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and let stand for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat one tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a 9x13 inch rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the sheet and press it down to fit. Dimple the dough all over with your fingers and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Let the dough rise until puffed, about 20 minutes.
  • Scatter the onions over the dough. Arrange the pear over the onions and sprinkle with the blue cheese. drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over the focaccia and bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the focaccia will be. Use fresh, flavorful onions, cheese, and almonds.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shaping it.
  • Let the focaccia rise in a warm place: This will help it to rise properly and develop a light, airy texture.
  • Bake the focaccia until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
  • Serve the focaccia warm or at room temperature: It is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but it can also be stored for a few days at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Onion, cheese, and almond focaccia is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or served with a variety of toppings. It is perfect for a quick and easy snack or meal, and it is also a great addition to any party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
