How to make Focaccia Bread with Sweet Onion and Capers Recipe
To begin making the Focaccia Bread with Sweet Onion and Capers, take lukewarm milk, add sugar and yeast, mix it with the help of spoon and keep it aside for 10 minutes till it froths.
Meanwhile take all-purpose flour in a large vessel and add salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Now make a well in between of the flour and pour the milk with yeast and sugar.
Knead the dough with hands (if the dough needs extra water u can add it). Make a soft dough.
Now sprinkle flour on a flat surface and make the dough soft by kneading with hands for about 10 minutes.
Take a flat baking greased tray and put the dough over it. Make the dough even on all sides by tapping with your hands. I took 4 *4 inches baking tray.
Now cover it with a cloth and place it on a warm place till the dough rises. I placed the dough in the oven.
Until the dough rises, start preparing the topping. Take 2 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan and add onions and a teaspoon of sugar and caramelize for 10 minutes. Switch it off and keep it aside.
Preheat Oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
After 2 hours you can see the dough has risen so well. Knock it off and add salt and knead well.
Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, then place the bread and flatten it. Sprinkle the caramelized onions and add the capers. Sprinkle some dried herbs.
Bake it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till u see a nice brown color on the top.
