Grilled Caramelized Onion, Blue Cheese and Apple Butter Flatbreads

Directions

1. Step 1
   Prepare the dough by combining the water, honey, olive oil, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Let rest for five minutes or until the mixture is foamy.

2. Step 2
   Add in the flour and salt, and mix until well-combined, but still sticky. Remove from bowl, and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is stretchy and smooth. You may also do this in a stand mixer with a dough hook attached. Mix on a medium speed until mixed, then knead on low speed for 5-7 minutes until the dough forms a smooth and stretchy ball on the hook.

3. Step 3
   Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about a hour, or until noticeably puffy.

4. Step 4
   To make the flatbreads, heat the butter in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in the sliced onions, and cook until just translucent, about three minutes.

5. Step 5
   Reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are dark, sticky, and sweet-tasting. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high and oil the grill grates.

6. Step 6
   To assemble the flatbreads, divide the dough into thirds, and then stretch one of the thirds into a flat oval shape.

7. Step 7
   Using a pastry brush, coat one side of the flatbread, and then place the dough, oil-side down, on the grill. Close the grill lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just puffy.

8. Step 8
   Brush the top with more oil, and then flip. Top with 1/3 of the apple butter, followed by 1/3 of the onions, 1/3 of the blue cheese and 1/3 of the mozzarella.

9. Step 9
   Close the grill lid and cook just until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Top with fresh cracked pepper.

10. Step 10
    Repeat with remaining dough and toppings. Slice into four pieces before serving.
