Cheesy Caramelized Onion Flatbreads

Cheesy Caramelized Onion Flatbreads are covered with thinly sliced pears, caramelized onions, crumbled blue cheese, chopped pecans, chopped fresh thyme, and gooey mozzarella cheese. The crust is made from White Lily’s Premium White Grape Seed Flour Blend and it’s a super easy dough to make. Make these flatbreads for a holiday party and your guests will think they are being served restaurant quality gourmet food.

White Lily Flour has been the preferred flour for biscuit-making in the south for generations. Earlier this year, White Lily introduced three new Premium Flour Blends: All-Purpose Wheat, Wheat and White Grape Seed Blend, and Wheat and Red Grape Seed Blend. Every at-home baker needs to give these high quality flour blends a try. They are amazing to bake with.

White Lily’s Premium Flour Blends are made from Shepherd’s Grain wheat grown in the Pacific Northwest. Read about my visit to a Shepherd’s Grain wheat field here. On each bag of flour is a traceability code that can be entered into the White Lily website to learn about the farmers who grew the grain in that particular bag. What a wonderful way to link the consumer to the producer.

The All-Purpose Wheat Flour is a great all-purpose baking flour that you can use in any recipe that you would use wheat flour and the Red Grape Seed and White Grape Seed Blends are very unique flour blends that you can really have fun with in the kitchen.

Red and white grape seeds, which are the by-product of wine making, are ground down and blended with the all-purpose wheat flour. Try them yourself and I think you’ll find they add a flavor complexity to your baked goods. The Red Grape Seed Blend goes really well with chocolate and I’ve been dying to try it in a crust for a beef pot pie.

The White Grape Seed Blend pairs really well with fruit and I love the flavor and texture it gives these Cheesy Caramelized Onions Flatbreads.

With plenty of melted cheese, pears, caramelized onions and a few pecans for some crunch, the White Grape Seed Blend crust makes an amazing appetizer. Or pair it with a salad for a light dinner.

I’m excited to announce that White Lily has a brand new website and they are now on Pinterest.

You can go to the website to trace the flour in your bag of Premium White Lily Flour Blend or find recipes for how to use it.
