Caramelized Onion Flatbread

I hope everyone survived their Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping. The extent of my shopping was going to the grocery store to buy everything I needed for a dinner party I hosted Saturday night and stock up on meat to smoke today for one last practice run. I wanted to squeeze in a post while my gingerbread is in the oven. This past week has been a blur and why I think I can do 10,000 at once is beyond me. Tuesday my gingerbread "dog" house is due so I hope on Wednesday to do a huge recap of that and all my Thanksgiving fixings. Then Friday we're off to Sealy for a BBQ contest. So my post will be light this next week.

I'm one of those people that have to have bread with every meal. Drives my hubby nuts but I take after my grandmother and breathe a big sigh when we're out of bread. Today's recipe is a wonderful change to the everyday slice of white bread with dinner. As I ate the bread with my meal my mind started to fill with inspiration for some other ideas of what to top bread with.

Caramelized Onion Flatbread

1 large sweet onion, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 pound balery pizza dough

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon chopped rosemary

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Saute onion in 1 tablespoon hot oil over medium-high heat 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Press dough into a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan, pressing to about 1/4 inch thickeness. Press handle of a wooden spoon into dough to make indentations at 1 inch interval; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with salt, rosemary, and caramelized onions.

Bake at 425 degrees F on lowest oven rack 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
