Ingredients

  • 0.3 oz active yeast dry
  • tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • tablespoon rosemary leaves fresh minced
  • ounces gorgonzola blue crumbled
  • tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon chile flakes red
  • medium onion red
  • teaspoons salt divided
  • cup semolina flour 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • plastic wrap

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water (about 100).
  2. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flours, 2 tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt. (Dough will be stiff.) Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place to rise until 1 1/2 times its original volume, about 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, halve onion lengthwise, peel, and thinly slice. In a bowl, combine onion and rosemary with remaining 2 tbsp. oil, the vinegar, remaining 1 tsp. salt, and the chile flakes. Cover; set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 45
  5. Lightly sprinkle 2 baking sheets with semolina and set aside. Turn risen dough out onto a floured surface. Knead dough just until it feels smooth, about 10 times. Divide into 32 balls. Set 16 balls aside and cover with plastic wrap; roll the others as thinly as possible. Put 8 rounds on each baking sheet. Top each with a scant 1 tbsp. onion mixture and 1 1/2 tsp. blue cheese.
  6. Bake until browned and sizzling, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough balls, onion mixture, and cheese.
  7. Serve hot or warm.
