Onion focaccia with instant yeast is a simple and tasty focaccia, ready in a short time and it does not need to rise before baking. The onion focaccia is excellent both hot and at room temperature. I made it with Tropea red onions; alternatively you can use other sweet onions you like to achieve a good result. Instant yeast is very convenient: the focaccia doesn’t need to ferment before being put in the oven — you just knead it, roll it out and bake it, it rises during cooking. The quick onion focaccia can also be served to accompany cold cuts or cheeses. I recommend also checking other FOCACCIA RECIPES FOR EVERY TASTE, I’m sure you’ll find other recipes to try.

How to make Onion Focaccia with instant yeast
Let’s start preparing the Onion Focaccia with instant yeast: pour the flour, the instant yeast, the extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and the milk into a bowl and work everything first with a fork and then with your hands until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly with a mandoline or a knife. Line the baking tray with parchment paper and pour the dough onto it; spread it with your hands or, if you prefer, with a rolling pin. Drizzle olive oil over the entire focaccia, sprinkle coarse salt, oregano and the sliced onion.
Preheat a conventional oven to 356°F (180°C) and when it’s hot bake the onion focaccia for 25–30 minutes. Before removing, check that the base is cooked; the time may vary depending on your oven.
When it’s cooked, remove from the oven and cut into pieces. Serve hot or at room temperature.
