• Sprinkle the yeast over the top, stir in, and let sit for 2 minutes.
• Add the sponge, bread flour, whole-wheat flour, salt and pepper.
• Mix with the dough hook for 2 minutes, or until the ingrediets are combine.
• Or beat vigoursly with a wooden spoon for 8-10 minutes.
• Let the dough rest for 15 mintes.
• Add the caramelized onions and resume mixing, continuing for 12-14 minutes or until the dough is silky and elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• The dough should be very wet and sticky, but still elastic.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
• Turn over a baking sheet and set a piece of parchment paper on it.
• Place the dough on a well-floured work surface, handling it gently to preserve as much volume as possible and cut into 2 equal pices.
• Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a flat round, about 1 1/4 inches thick.
• Transfer to the parchment paper.
• You may have to reshape once you have moved it.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• To avoid the plastic from sticking to the dough, spray the dough with some cooking spray.
• Place a baking stone on the middle rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
• Using a spray bottle, spritz the oven walls with water.
• Work quickly so the oven does not lose heat.
• You could also quickly place several ice cubes in the bottom of the oven after you have placed the loaves in the oven.
• Slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, into the oven onto the hot stone.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bread brown.
• Transfer the flatbreads to a rack to cool.
• Note: I could only bake one loaf at a time.
• Next time I will forget about turning the dough onto a floured board.
• I'll gently dump half of the dough onto each piece of parchment paper and shape it there.

CARAMELIZED ONION BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat. Cook onions in butter 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are brown and caramelized. Do not hurry the process. Remove from heat.

• Set to basic cycle with medium or light crust. Add onions at beep signal or 5 to 10 minute before end of kneading cycle.

• Note: I generally substitute one cup of whole wheat or rye flour for one cup of the bread flour. Rye is particularly excellent.

CARAMELIZED VIDALIA ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tbsp butter to lightly grease 4 ramekins.
• In a saute pan over medium flame, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add onions and saute until they caramelize and turn golden brown. Cool and transfer to a blender or food processor and puree.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the cream, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and flour and mix well.

• Pour into individual ramekins (about half full). Place ramekins in a roasting pan. Cover the ramekins with foil. Fill the roasting pan with water until the water reaches about half way up the side of the ramekin. Place roasting pan in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the pudding is set.
• Remove ramekins from the roasting pan to remove from the oven and let the water in the roasting pan cool before trying to remove. I've made the mistake of trying to remove the ramekins IN the roasting pan-let's just say the water is very very hot.
