Ingredients
Scale
- 10g fresh yeast or 5g//2 1/2 tsps dried yeast
- approximately 135 ml/1/2 cup warm water
- 200g/1 1/4 cups spelt flour
- 40ml/3 tsps olive oil
- a pinch of salt
- 20ml milk
- 90ml rapeseed oil
- 1tsp chopped thyme leaves
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 4 large onions, peeled and finely sliced
- 1 bunch of basil (put side small tips for garnish, roughly tear larger leaves)
- seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
- Mix the yeast and warm water until smooth and then add this to the remaining dough ingredients, either mixing and kneading by hand until smooth or using a mixing machine with the dough-hook attachment on the slowest speed. It will take 10-15 minutes for the dough to become smooth and soft to the touch. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour.
- Heat the oil with the thyme and garlic until it begins to sizzle. Add the onions and stir over a high heat until they start to caramelise and turn golden. Season, drain and cool.
- When the dough has risen, knead gently again until smooth. Roll into a circle approximately 25cm in diameter and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread the onion mixture over it, leaving a 2cm border. Cover with cling film or a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 15-20 minutes until slightly risen and soft. Place on the middle shelf and bake for 15 minutes then sprinkle with the chopped basil. Bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until the crust is risen and golden.
