- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

Instructions
Bread
- In a large bowl, combine yeast, water, and sugar. Stir and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, and half the salt.
- Pour half the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil mixture aside.
- Add flour to the oil and yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Add dough to a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let it rest for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size. While the bread is rising, prepare the caramelized onion topping.
Topping
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When hot, add the onions and sugar. Cook until the onions are softened (about 20 minutes).
Assembly
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pour the reserved oil mixture into the bottom of a 9x11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the dish.
- Add the risen dough to the baking dish and work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
- Top with the other half of salt, shredded cheese, and caramelized onions.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve warm.
