    Ensure milk is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast without killing it. Knead thoroughly for a tender crust.

    A slightly warm oven (turned off) or a sunny spot can help the dough rise faster.

    While the dough rises, prepare the onion filling. Chop the onions. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft, translucent, and slightly caramelized.

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large circle, approximately 12-14 inches in diameter. Spread the sautéed onions evenly over half of the dough, leaving a border. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the onions.

    Transfer the pie to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, lightly brush the top with a beaten egg wash for a golden crust. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pie is cooked through.

    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.
