Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Stir the yeast into the water in a large mixing bowl & let stand until it is creamy, about 10 minutes. With a wooden spoon, stir in the olive oil followed by the flour & salt. Knead by hand until moist & velvety. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover & let rise until doubled. Meanwhile, saute the onions in margarine over the lowest possible heat until they are soft & transparent, about 40 minutes. Season with salt & pepper & sugar. Leave to cool. When the dough has risen, turn out onto a floured board & shape into a long log. Transfer to a greased baking sheet & join the two ends to make a ring of 6" tp 8" diameter. Keep the hole in the centre as open as possible. Cover & let rise till doubled. 30 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 400F. When the dough has risen, scoop up the onions in a slotted spoon & pile on top of the ring. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375F, brush the exposed surface with more olive oil & bake another 15 to 20 minutes until golden & crispy. Remove & slide onto a wire rack to cool.
