  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 fresh ripe peaches cleaned and cut into chunks

Instructions
  1. For flatbread:
  2. In a bowl, add warm water.
  3. To the water add sugar and yeast and stir slightly.
  4. Let it sit for around 10-15 mins until it starts bubbling.
  5. In another bowl, combine flour, salt and oil and mix.
  6. Add yeast water to the dry mix and knead into a smooth dough for around 3-5 mins. Keep it in a well-oiled bowl, covered, for around an hour until doubled. Knead again and let it rise for another hour.
  7. Pre-heat oven to 420F
  8. Chop peaches and keep aside.
  9. Make caramelized onions.
  10. Caramelized onions:
  11. 2 large red onions, cut in half and chopped into half moon shapes
  12. 1/2 tsp olive oil
  13. 1/2-1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  14. Salt to taste
  15. Chop onions.
  16. In a stainless steel pan, add oil and onions over medium-high heat. Stir them around and let them cook for 5-7 minutes. Lower the heat and let them keep cooking for 35-45 mins. Keep stirring occasionally after every 5 mins-10 mins so they don’t burn and but don’t stir too much as it won’t let them brown. If you find them sticking too much, add balsamic vinegar and using a spatula scrape it all. This will loosen the onions and infuse flavor. If you feel they are cooking to slow, you can increase heat little bit or vice versa but remember to get the real deal caramelized onion takes around 35-50 mins. So have patience!
  17. Once done, keep them aside.
  18. Balsamic Glaze: can use premade glaze
  19. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  20. 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  21. In a pot, add balsamic vinegar and sugar and let it melt on med-high heat. Stir and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until it reduces to half. It will be thick and will coat the back of a spoon.
  22. Keep aside.
  23. Assembling flatbread:
  24. Roll out the dough and transfer it to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  25. Take a butter knife and coat the entire surface of rolled out flatbread with a good amount of goat cheese.
  26. Add caramelized onions, peaches. Drizzle some balsamic glaze. If you find glaze to be too thick, warm it up for few seconds in the microwave or warm it up on gas.
  27. Bake at 420F for 15-20 mins until it gets golden and crispy. Add chunks of goat cheese on top. Drizzle with more glaze and serve.
