ONION BREAD

This recipe originally came from the booklet that accompanied my bread machine. I've modified it a bit and it's my family's favorite bread. We use it for sandwiches, toasted with parmesean cheese for dinner and even just toasted with butter for breakfast!

Provided by Brieness79

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h5m

Yield 2 pound loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups water
2/3 cup chopped onion
4 -5 garlic cloves, chopped as finely as you prefer (optional)
4 tablespoons butter
4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons dry milk
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

  • Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.
  • Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.
  • Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour into the well.
  • Close up bread machine.
  • Choose the "basic" setting that most machines have - it's the three hour setting on mine.
  • I always use the "light" crust color because the bread comes out quite a bit softer.

ONION BREAD



Onion Bread image

This coarsely textured bread has the delicate flavor of onion. This is not a soft bread. It is crusty and hearty and slightly dry. Sliced, it is perfect for building those famous Dagwood sandwiches. This bread is good eaten in crusty slabs either plain or buttered along side hot soup or cool, crisp salad. It's the bread of choice in my house.

Tips:

  • Use good quality onions: Fresh, sweet onions will give your bread the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the onions: You want them to be soft and translucent, but not browned.
  • Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour gives the bread a light texture, while whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help it to double in size and develop a good flavor.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This ensures that it is cooked through and has a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Onion bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply served with butter and jam. The addition of onions gives the bread a unique flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a new bread to try, give onion bread a try. You won't be disappointed.
