Topping Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare Caramelized Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Focaccia

    Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch it out to fit the pan.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Spread the crushed San Marzano tomatoes evenly over the dough. Layer the caramelized onions on top, followed by the herb breadcrumbs and grated Grana Padano cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped basil before slicing and serving.
