Directions
1. Prepare the Onions
Thinly slice the red and yellow onions into rings. Soak them in cold water for 5–10 minutes to reduce sharpness. Drain well.
2. Make the Dough Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the water, flour, olive oil, and salt until the mixture forms a smooth and slightly runny batter.
3. Add the Onions
Stir the drained onions into the batter until evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Baking Tray
Line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper. Drizzle some olive oil on the paper and pour in the batter, spreading it evenly.
5. Top with Cheese and Cornmeal
Sprinkle grated vegan parmesan evenly over the top of the onion batter. Lightly sprinkle cornmeal on top for added crunch.
6. Final Touch
Drizzle a bit more olive oil on top to enhance flavor and crispiness.
7. Bake
Preheat your fan oven to 392°F (200°C). Bake the schiacciata for 45–60 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
