  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and a splash of water; cover for about five minutes to soften.

  5. Prepare garlic oil by heating olive oil in a small skillet with crushed garlic cloves for five minutes.
  6. Once dough has risen, transfer it into an oiled baking pan and press dimples into the surface.
  7. Drizzle with garlic oil and top with caramelized onions and additional thyme.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown.
