Usually during the evening I enjoy having a glass of red wine with my lovely husband assorted with a side dish. Tonight the choice has been made for a dried apricot and caramelised onions flatbread.

Method steps
For the Dough:
🔸 Add water, yeast, sugar, olive oil and flour in a mixer and pulse until well mixed. You can also use a large bowl and your hands to knead.

🔸 After 30 minutes preheat oven in 200 degrees (Fan).
For caramelised onions:
🔸 Add butter, olive oil, balsamic and sugar in a pan and put over high heat.
🔸 As soon as the butter and sugar melt, add the onions. Stir to combine and sweat for 5 minutes.
🔸 When all liquids have evaporated, lower heat.
🔸 Continue to cook and stir often, until the onions turn brown. (This may take 15-20 minutes)
🔸 Set aside.
For baking Dough:
🔸 With a rolling pin work the dough in your wanted shape.
🔸Transfer dough to an oven pan with baking paper and spread dough with olive oil.
🔸 Sprinkle dough with grated cheese and parmesan.
🔸 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (depends the oven).
🔸 Add caramelised onions, apricots, arugula, balsamic glaze and if wanted crumbled feta or goat cheese.
Bon appetite!!!!
