That day was one of those days when I really didn't know what to eat! You know, one of those days when you have stuff in your fridge but nothing that can go together to make a proper meal... So, I took out my box of flour and some vegetables and voila! A little surprise bread! The slow-cooked onions like this are my guilty pleasure, and with cherry tomatoes, it's the best!

I recommend it as an appetizer, sliced or as open-faced sandwiches with tapenade, for example.

Steps

Preheat the oven to 131°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and a little water.
Mix everything together and gradually add a tiny bit of water until you can form a nice ball. Knead the dough a little with your hands and reshape it into a ball.
Place the dough ball in the oven for 20 minutes to let it puff up.
Meanwhile, peel the onion and wash the tomatoes.
Slice the onion into fairly thin half rings and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Remove the dough from the oven and knead it lightly. Spread it out a bit with your palms and top with onions and tomatoes.
Fold the dough over itself and fill it again.
Fold everything one last time to properly encase the filling and arrange basil leaves on top.
Bake the bread for 30 minutes at 180°C (356°F) and it's ready!
