Envelope active dry yeast; (1/4−ounce)  
Tablespoon Sugar  
Tablespoon Minced garlic  
/4 Cup Plus 3 tablespoons olive oil  
Cup Warm water; (about 110(F.)  
Teaspoon Salt  
1/2 Cup All−purpose flour  
Tablespoon Kosher salt  
1/2 Fat; 1 Other Carbohydrates  
Preheat the oven to 350 F.  
In a large saut pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot,  
add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saut until caramelized, about  
1
5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool completely.  
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, whisk the yeast, sugar, garlic, 2  
tablespoons of the olive oil, warm water , and caramelized onions together  
for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast. Add the salt and flour. With the mixer  
on low, mix until the dough starts to come together. Increase the speed to  
medium−high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl  
and crawls up to dough hook. Grease a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon of the  
oil. Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once. Cover the bowl with  
plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place until the dough doubles  
in size about 1 1/2 hours.  
Grease a half baking sheet pan (17 x 12) with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Turn  
the dough out onto a baking sheet. Punch the dough down and press the dough  
out to form the pan.  
Brush the dough with remaining 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Sprinkle the dough  
with kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Lightly cover the pan with plastic  
wrap and let the dough rest for 1 hour. Bake the dough for 30−35 minutes or  
until the dough is golden brown.  
Slice the bread into individual pieces or into sandwich slices.  
Yields: 24 individual pieces or 12 sandwich slices  
Yields: 12 to 15 servings
