Time 2h30m

Yield 3 medium loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup water, lukewarm
7 -7 1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dill weed
1 onion, chopped (medium)
3 -4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup water (have more on hand)

Steps:

Make mound of flour directly on counter or table. Make a well in the center for the yeast. Add the other dry ingredients (onion, dill weed, and salt) around the edge. Make sure to keep salt out of the yeast.
Add sugar and the lukewarm water to the yeast. Proof yeast until bubbly.
Mix together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and 1 cup of water. SLOWLY add to dry ingredients while mixing with the other hand.
Mix together until it forms a ball that is not sticky or dry. It should be soft "like a baby's bottom".
Put in a greased bowl and cover with a light damp towel. Let dough rise until doubled (about 45 minutes or so).
Punch dough down and separate into 3 medium loaves. Place loaves in greased pans and let rise again for another 45 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. (I usually check it a little early!).

ONION AND BUTTERMILK QUICK BREAD

Onion and Buttermilk Quick Bread image

Have fresh bread in under an hour. This is great buttered, still warm and served with home-made soup. Eat on day of making as these go stale quickly. My instructions are for 4 small loaves (1-2 people). You could easily make 6 or 8 smaller rolls. Australian measurements used.

Time 45m

Yield 4 small loaves

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

375 g self raising flour
35 g French onion soup mix
2 tablespoons chives, snipped
435 ml buttermilk
buttermilk, extra

Steps:

Preheat oven to 180 deg C, 350 deg F, Gas mark 4.
Sift flour into a large mixing bowl then stir in soup mix and chives.
Use a flat-bladed knife, and a cutting action, to mix in the buttermilk. This should form a soft dough. Use the extra buttermilk to achieve this consistency, if too dry.
Lightly flour your work surface. Turn out dough and quickly knead into a smooth ball. Divide into 4 even pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Place balls onto a floured baking tray. Allow room for each to rise. Sift a little flour over the top and make a slash, with a sharp knife, across each loaf.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Tips:

Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your bread a tangy flavor and help it rise properly.

Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.

Let the bread rise in a warm place. A warm place will help the bread rise quickly and evenly.

Bake the bread until it is golden brown. The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. Slicing the bread while it is still warm will make it crumbly.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk onion bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover buttermilk, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its tangy flavor and soft, fluffy texture, buttermilk onion bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
