Red Onion Flatbread Recipes

CHEESY ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup grated Gruyere, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary or thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Spread on 2 pieces lavash (or other flatbread); top with 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake at 425 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Season with salt; cut into pieces.

TOMATO AND RED ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Unroll dough on cookie sheet; brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Bake 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Spread cheese spread over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with Asiago cheese. Arrange tomatoes and onion over cheese. Sprinkle salt over tomatoes; sprinkle pepper over entire flatbread.
• Bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Top with basil; drizzle with remaining tablespoon olive oil.

RED-ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with a pizza stone or baking sheet (or an inverted rimmed baking sheet) on lowest rack.
• Sprinkle yeast and sugar over warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, coarse salt, and oil. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead, dusting hands and surface with more flour as needed, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Transfer to a large oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Punch down dough and form into a ball, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 2 pieces. Gently stretch each into a rough 16-by-6-inch oval and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or an inverted rimmed baking sheet). Divide onion between ovals, leaving a 1-inch border; lightly press into dough. Let rise, 10 minutes. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with flaky salt.
• Transfer ovals on parchment onto preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500°F (if you can't heat the oven this high without broiling, heat to 475°F).
• On lightly floured surface, shape pizza dough into 14-inch oval. Place on cornmeal-dusted or parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread with mustard, then top with provolone.
• In large bowl, toss onions, fennel, thyme, oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; fold in fontina. Scatter over dough and bake until crust is golden brown and vegetables are just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Press 12 ounces pizza dough into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle on a floured parchment-lined inverted baking sheet. Rub with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and 1/2 thinly sliced red onion. Slide the parchment onto a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in a 475˚ F oven; bake until browned, 9 to 11 minutes. Top with sea salt and chopped parsley.

CHEESY ZUCCHINI AND RED ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray. Unroll dough onto parchment. Spread half of herb cheese over 1 long half of dough, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Sprinkle with half of Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley. Using parchment as aid, fold plain half of dough over filled half (do not seal edges). Spread remaining herb cheese over top; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Remove enough outer layers of onion to yield 2-inch-diameter core; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Arrange 1 row of zucchini down 1 long side of dough. Arrange onion rounds in row alongside zucchini. Arrange 1 more row of zucchini alongside onion. Brush vegetables with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake bread until puffed and deep brown at edges, about 24 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

FLATBREAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet.
• Add onions; cook until wilted& starting to brown.
• Add sugar, vinegar, salt& pepper.
• Reduce heat& cook gently for 15- 25 minutes or until onions are caramelized& brown.
• Cool.
• Roll pastry into a rectangle approximately 12 x 16 inches. I don't use the sheets of puff pastry - I prefer to use the 375gm package of Tenderflake Puff Pastry. I start rolling it out on my counter, then I transfer it to my baking tray (which has been lined with parchment paper) and roll the pastry to fit the tray. Since puff pastry is very "forgiving", you can "cut & paste" if necessary.
• Spread onions over pastry.
• Dot with cheese& sprinkle with chervil.
• If you are preparing this for a party, you can prepare to this point and refrigerate- then bake later.
• Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20- 25 minutes or until cheese has melted& pastry is crisp.
• When removed from the oven, it will be puffed right up but allow it to cool for 5 minutes & it will fall back down. Cut into 20 serving pieces - this is easier done with kitchen scissors instead of a knife - then cut each piece in half diagonally.
