Dissolve the yeast in the water. Pour the yeast mixture into the
well, and gradually start incorporating it into the flour a little at
a time. Add the oil and lastly, add the salt. Knead the dough until
soft, smooth, and elastic.
Cover the dough with a sheet of lightly greased plastic wrap and let
rise in a warm place for about 30 min.
To Make The Brine: Combine the water, olive oil, and coarse salt in
a bowl. Stir to make an emulsion and then let it rest.
Transfer the dough to a baking pan greased with oil, stretching it
gently with your fingertips. Prod the surface of the dough with your
fingers, forming small dimples where the seasoning will
collect. Sprinkle the focaccia with the Genoese brine and let rise
until it has doubled in volume, about 1 hr.
to Make The Topping: In a large skillet, saute the onions in the
olive oil until softened. Remove the pan from the heat, and spread
them over the focaccia.
Bake in the oven at 390F (200C) for 20 min, or until golden brown.
