***CRUST***
3/4 cup bread flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter -- plus
2 tablespoons cold butter -- cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons ice water
***CARAMELIZED ONIONS***
8 onions -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small spri rosemary
***ASSEMBLY***

5 1/2 ounces goat cheese; one log
1/4 cup pitted green olives

CRUST. Put bread flour, all-purpose flour and salt in food processor and

food processor and press into disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1
hour.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS. Combine onions, olive oil and rosemary in large
skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until onions release their water,
about 15 minutes. Stir, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently,
until onions begin to brown, about 1 hour. Remove lid and continue cooking
over low heat, stirring frequently, until onions are deep brown, 30 to 45
minutes. Do not let onions scorch.

Set strainer over bowl. Remove rosemary and turn onions into strainer. Set
aside until onions are drained of all oil.

ASSEMBLY. Remove tart dough from refrigerator and roll out 1/4-inch thick.
Place in tart pan with removable bottom, folding double along edge to make
sturdy rim.

Spoon onions across bottom of tart pan. Season lightly with salt and
pepper. Dot goat cheese over onions. Scatter olives over goat cheese and
arrange pepper strips over all.

Bake at 400 degrees until crust is browned and cheese is melted, about 45
minutes.
