Ingredients

  • For short crust pastry
  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 100 grams very cold butter cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon or more salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • dried herbs optional
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Take all purpose flour, sugar, salt , cheese and dried herbs in a large bowl.
  • Add the cold butter cubes to the flour. Tip in the butter to the flour. Rube with your finger tips until the mixture resemble coarse crumbs.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons ice cold water at a time and very gently bring the dough together. Do not knead the dough too much. Wrap the dough in a cling wrap or butter paper chill for an hour.
  • In the meantime let us prepare the filling. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and1 teaspoon olive oil in a pan. Add cubed onions and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Saute in low flame for 3 minutes. Add dried parsley, basil and mix well. Saute till the mixture turns sticky. Cool for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 220C. Take the cold dough and rest it for 5 minutes.
  • Roll into a circle with 1/4' thickness. Twist the edges and make a border.
  • Spread the onion mixture evenly. Arrange the cubed paneer and cherry tomato halves over it.
  • Spread dried herbs generously. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar ad olive oil.
  • Bake in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust turns crispy and golden. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
