      1. Step 1: To make the rough puff pastry, add the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 120g of butter (slightly softened but not at room temperature) to a bowl.
      2. Step 2: Using your hands, crumble the butter into the flour. Aim to keep some larger lumps of butter. Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Then wrap it in cling film, shape it into a disc, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
      3. Step 3: After chilling, roll out the dough to approximately 20cm x 10cm (about 8" x 4"). Fold it over itself like a letter going into an envelope, press firmly, cover, and return to the fridge for another hour.
      4. Step 4: Repeat the rolling and folding process three more times.
      5. Step 5: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
      6. Step 6: Peel the onions, keeping the ends intact, and cut them in half. In a cast-iron pan over medium heat, add the remaining 80g of butter and the olive oil. Sprinkle it with salt and place the onions face down in the pan.
      7. Step 7: Sprinkle over the brown sugar and thyme leaves, and pour over the balsamic glaze.
      8. Step 8: Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
      9. Step 9: Meanwhile, roll out the pastry to 0.5cm (about 0.2") thick and cut a disc slightly larger than the pan.
      10. Step 10: Place the pastry disc over the onions, tucking the edges down the sides. Score 5-6 small holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
      11. Step 11: Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
      12. Step 12: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 3-4 minutes before turning out onto a plate.
      13. Step 13: Garnish with goat's cheese and serve.
