Directions

  1. Gradually whisk the flour into the water, mixing constantly to prevent lumps, and let the mixture rest for at least 4 hours. Skim off the foam that forms on the surface.
  2. Peel the onions, slice them very thinly, and then soak them in cold water before draining them. ≈ 8 min
  3. Preheat the oven to 250 °C. Pour the oil into large, flanged baking sheets, add the dough, and mix to distribute the oil evenly. The layer should be thin.
  4. Sprinkle the surface with onion rings. ≈ 2 min
  5. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and has some cracks.
  6. Once out of the oven, generously season with pepper and serve immediately.
