Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit the baking sheet.

Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prick the dough with a fork to create holes for air to escape.

Bake the dough in the oven for about 15 minutes until it rises and turns golden brown.

Sauté 3 onions in a mixture of butter and canola oil, adding salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar while cooking covered.

In the middle of cooking the onions, add about half a spoon of pepper paste.

Stir in a heaping tablespoon of caraway seeds into the sautéed onions.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of sour cream, 3 eggs, and the herb mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the onion mixture onto the pre-baked crust and spread it evenly.

Top with a handful of Parmesan cheese before baking.

Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 25 minutes.

Check if the onion cake is ready after 25 minutes, and if not, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Slice the onion cake once it has cooled slightly before serving.
