dough

  • 3½ cups (560g) 00 flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons dried yeast
  • 1 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
  • 1½ cups (375ml) lukewarm water
  • ¼ cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
  1. To make the dough, place the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water and oil in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, sugar, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until golden brown and lightly caramelised. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and press into a 3cm-thick rectangle. Top with the onion mixture, fold over the dough to enclose and press to secure. Cut the dough into 7 equal portions and place, cut-side up, on a well-greased 20cm x 30cm oven tray. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 20 minutes or until risen. 
  3. While the dough is proving, preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the dough with the milk, place on a large oven tray and cook for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with the butter. Serves 6.
