This savory focaccia combines the rich flavors of garlic, cheese, and caramelized onions for a delightful bread experience.
Place the dough ingredients into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt to maintain its activity.
Select the dough setting and start the machine. After a few minutes, check the dough consistency and adjust with a tablespoon of water or flour if needed.
The dough should form a smooth ball without sticking to the sides of the machine.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a greased pizza pan and shape it into a 10-inch circle.
Use your fingers to gently stretch the dough evenly without tearing it.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Covering the dough with a damp cloth prevents it from drying out during rising.
Meanwhile, sauté the onions in butter over medium heat until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning and ensure even caramelization.
Using the end of a wooden spoon, create deep indentations in the dough, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Press firmly but gently to avoid tearing the dough.
Spread the onion mixture evenly over the dough and sprinkle with cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
Ensure the toppings are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-18 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
Let the focaccia cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
