      Yield: 1 Focaccia
 
  2 1/2 ts Dried yeast
    1/2 c  Warm water
  1 1/2 c  Water, room temperature
      6 tb Olive oil
      5 c  Unbleached all-purpose flour

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      2 tb Olive oil
      1 c  Onions, finely chopped
  1 1/2 tb Olive oil
    1/2 ts Salt
 
  Stir the yeast into a small bowl & let proof for 10 minutes. Stir in
  the rest of the water & oil.  Whisk in 2 c of the flour & stir till
  smooth. Add salt & the rest of the flour, 1 c at a time. Knead for 8
  to 10 minutes until soft & velvety.  Place in a lightly oiled bowl,
  cover & let rise till doubled. While the dough is rising, prepare the
  topping. Warm the olive oil over low heat & saute the onions for
  about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cut the dough into 2
  pieces, one twice as large as the other. Shape the smaller one to fit
  an oiled 10" round pie plate & the larger one to fit an oiled 10 1/2"
  X 15 1/2" baking sheet. Cover & let rise for 45 minutes until bubbles
  appear in the dough but it has not quite doubled. Heat the oven to
  400F for 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle the onions over the dough
  & drizzle with olive oil & finish with the salt. Bake for 25 minutes
  until the onions are golden. Cool on wire racks. VARIATION: Crescia
  al Rosmarino.  Substitute 2 tb finely chopped rosemary for the onions.
