Three-Onion, Sun-Dried Tomato, Olive Tart
- a 1/4-ounce package (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- a pinch of sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2/3 cup lukewarm water
- 2 3/4 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound white or yellow onions, chopped fine (about 3 cups)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
- 1/4 cup minced drained sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
- 1/3 cup minced Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives
- In a small bowl proof the yeast with the sugar in 1/4 cup of the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy.
- In a large bowl stir together 2 3/4 cups of the flour, the salt, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the remaining 2/3 cup water, and the yeast mixture until the mixture forms a dough and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, kneading in enough of the remaining 1/4 cup flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes more, or until it is smooth and elastic, and form it into a ball.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it well, and let it rise, covered loosely, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk.
- In a heavy skillet cook the white onions in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden and let them cool.
- In a bowl whisk together the sour cream and the eggs and stir in the white onions and salt and pepper to taste.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a 17- by 13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer the rectangle to a large baking sheet, with your fingers form a 1/4-inch rim around the edges of the rectangle, and spread the sour-cream mixture evenly over the dough.
- Scatter the red onion and the scallion greens over half the dough and scatter the sun-dried tomatoes and the olives over the remaining half.
- Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 350F.
- oven for 25 minutes, transfer it to a rack, and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut the tart into 2-inch-wide diamonds.
