Yield: 1 focaccia

In the bowl of a standing mixer or a large mixing bowl, stir together 
the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast and salt. Drizzle 
with olive oil. With a hand mixer or a stand mixer with paddle 
attachment, beat on low speed while gradually pouring in the warm 
water. Slowly increase the speed to high, then beat for 1 minute. The 
dough will be very sticky. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, 
turn once to coat, then cover with plastic. Let rise in a warm, draft 
free plate for 1 hour, until the dough becomes puffy, or store in the 
refrigerator for up to 3 days.

While the dough is rising, prepare the caramelized onion topping. 
Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium. Add the 
onions and salt, then sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 
minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until 
deep brown, sweet, and tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the 
thyme and red pepper flakes.

Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 
375F. Drizzle a large baking sheet generously with olive oil.

Gently turn the risen dough out onto the greased baking sheet. Coax 
and stretch to a 1/2" thick oblong shape (it may not be uniform), 
then cover with lightly oiled plastic and let rest 15 minutes if the 
dough was not refrigerated, or 30 minutes if it was. With your 
fingertips, "dimple" the dough by poking it gently all over with your 
fingers. Drizzle additional olive oil over the top, then top with 
caramelized onions and olives. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 
minutes, checking at the 15 minute mark. Serve warm or at room temperature.
