Pletzel
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 1 cup of warm water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a skillet, sauté 2 large thinly sliced onions in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to press and stretch the dough into a large rectangle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the dough, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pletzel is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Allow the pletzel to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
