Directions

  1. Mix flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in olive oil and about 3/4 cup water until mixture comes together in a ball of dough. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup water while kneading dough, continue kneading until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

  2. Place dough in a large lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place, about 30 minutes.

  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and 1 teaspoon salt until tender and translucent, about 30 minutes, stir often so onions do not brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  5. Roll dough out on a floured surface to create a thin crust, transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Poke several holes in the dough with a fork and roll edges up slightly to create a rim.

  6. Spread cooled onions over crust. Whisk sour cream, milk, eggs, and ground black pepper in a bowl, pour over onions. Sprinkle with caraway seeds.

  7. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and eggs are set, 30 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Recipe Note

This is a traditional dish for the fall when there is new wine, but I eat onion pie all year round.
