Sprinkle with the cheeses, rosemary and garlic powder. Top with onions. , Bake at 425° for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Make the basic dough, adding 2 tbsp olive oil and only a pinch of salt. While the dough is rising, cook onions in 1 tbsp olive oil for 5 mins until soft, then set aside.
• When the dough has risen, knock it back and stretch it to fit an oiled Swiss roll tin about 25 x 35cm. Leave the dough to prove for about 20 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the onions over the dough and scatter with the rosemary. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples, drizzle the remaining oil over and scatter over the salt, then bake for 30 mins until golden. Leave to cool, then serve cut or torn into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil. Place dough on sheet, stretching to fit (if dough springs back, let rest 20 minutes and repeat). Drizzle edges with 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Addonions and season with salt and pepper.Cook, stirring occasionally, until onionsare tender and golden brown in spots,12 minutes. Add vinegar and cook,stirring and scraping up browned bitswith a wooden spoon, 1 minute.
• Remove plastic from dough. Withyour fingertips, poke dimples all overdough, then top with cheese, brownedonions, and red-pepper flakes. Bakeuntil golden brown around edges, about30 minutes. Let cool on sheet 5 minutes.Cut into 20 pieces and serve warmor at room temperature.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl.
• Stir in the yeast, (this should be 1 dessert spoon but Zaar doesn't like it -- so it's about half a tbsp) oil and water.
• Mix to a dough. Add more liquid if kneaded (depends on the dough you're using) but be careful.
• Turn the dough out and knead it for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
• Place in an oiled bowl in a warm place (window sill / airing cupboard) for about an hour to double in bulk. Cover it with cling film or a wet tea towel to stop it from forming a crust. (If it does, then knead it some more to get rid of it - but it will then need more proving time to get the air back).
• Roll the dough out into a rough oval shape about 1cm thick, and place onto an oiled baking tray.
• Make deep holes in the dough about 1 inch apart.
• Allow to rise for 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / GM6
• Mix together the remaining oil, garlic and rosemary (leave to sit for a little while to flavour the oil).
• Spread over the surface of the bread, and cover with the chopped onion.
• Sprinkle over the salt, and then flick on some cold water to stop a skin from warming as it cooks.
• Bake for 25 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack.
