Directions

EMERIL LIVE #EMIA05

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, leeks, and shallots.

Sauté for 15 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized.

Stir in the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, whisk the yeast, sugar, and warm water together, for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast.

Add the onions mixture. Add the salt and flour. With the mixer on low, mix until the dough starts to come together. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and crawls up to dough hook. Grease a mixing bowl with the vegetable oil. Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place until the dough doubles in size about 1½ hours. Turn the dough out onto a baking sheet. Punch the dough abd press the dough out to form the size of the pan. Place dough in pan and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cover the dough and allow to double in size, about 45 minutes. Bake the dough for 30-35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Slice the bread into 8 to 12 pieces, depending on desired size of the sandwich. Divide the roasted vegetables between the sandwiches. Spread each piece of foccacia with the aioli. Build each sandwich, using all the vegetables and cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sandwiches are hot and the cheese is melted.
