Rustic Onion Pie
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 10 anchovy fillets, optional
- 4 pounds Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
- Special Equipment: 11 by 17-inch baking sheet pan
- To make the dough, put the flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the oil and salt.
- Stir together with a wooden spoon and slowly add the water until a dough begins to form.
- Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- To make the filling, pour the olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add the anchovies and cook, stirring until they dissolve.
- Add the onions, salt and pepper, stir and cover.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
- Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
- On a well floured work surface, roll out 1 of the disks to about 1/8-inch thick rectangle to fit the size of the sheet pan and line the pan with the dough.
- Spread the filling out over the dough, roll out the second disk a little larger than the sheet pan and place it over the onions.
- Crimp the edges, brush with olive oil and cut vent slits into the top.
- Transfer the pan into the top half of the oven and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour.
- Let cool, slice and serve at room temperature.
