Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping
  • For the Onion Jam:
  • 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix into a sticky dough. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. While dough rises, prepare onion jam: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook slowly for 15–20 minutes until soft and deep in color.
  5. Add balsamic vinegar, sugar, and salt. Cook another 5 minutes until thick and jammy. Let cool.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or use a cast iron pan. Press dough out to about 3/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use your fingers to dimple the surface. Drizzle with olive oil, then top with cherry tomatoes, onion jam dollops, and dried herbs.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • Try adding olives or vegan cheese for variation.
  • Use yellow onions if red aren’t available—the jam will still be sweet and savory.
