Method
 

Making Focaccia
  1. In a bowl, mix warm water with active dry yeast and let it sit until foamy, around 5-10 minutes. Then, stir in olive oil.
  2. Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place the kneaded dough into an oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Slice onions and cook them gently in olive oil over low heat for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Stretch the risen dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with caramelized onions, pear slices, and blue cheese crumbles.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the focaccia for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
