Description

Delicious flatbreads topped with sweet, caramelized onions and poppy seeds, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 large yellow onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should feel soft but not sticky. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1–1 hours, or until doubled in size.
  3. Make the onion topping: While the dough rises, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions, salt, and sugar. Cook slowly, stirring often, until the onions become soft and lightly golden. Stir in the poppy seeds and set aside to cool.
  4. Shape the flatbreads: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6–8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten into rounds about 6 inches wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press a shallow indentation in the center of each round. Spoon a generous amount of onion mixture onto each one, spreading it evenly but leaving a small border around the edge.
  5. Bake to golden perfection: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cebularz to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, when the dough is tender and the topping is fragrant.

Notes

  • Enjoy these flatbreads warm for the best flavor.
  • The onion topping can be adjusted with more or less sugar based on your preference.
  • These make a great appetizer or side dish.
