Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, then mix with the flour, salt and oil until you have a soft dough.
  2. Knead for 5 minutes, cover and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
  3. Finely slice the onions and cook them in the butter for 10 minutes over low heat until golden and soft, seasoned with salt and pepper.
