THE EASIEST & TASTIEST NO KNEAD ONION BREAD LOAF



The Easiest & Tastiest No Knead Onion Bread Loaf image

No Preheating and No Kneading make this THE BEST (and easiest) No Knead Onion Bread!

Provided by TKWAdmin

Categories     No Knead

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon Redstar Platinum instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups water (room temp)
1 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
2 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoon dried, minced onions, divided
2 teaspoon hot water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl add in the flour, yeast, granulated onion and 2 tablespoon of dried onions, and salt. You need to make sure the bowl is at least 2 times the size as this will easily double in volume. Whisk to combine. Add in the water and mix with a wooden spoon - do NOT use a stand mixer. Mix it until it's combined and forms a 'shaggy' dough. Just make sure that all the flour is incorporated. It will not be a smooth dough - that's how it's supposed to be.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place overnight for at least 12 hours but no more than 24.
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven. Put the rack in the middle and preheat to 450F. Let this heat up for about 45 minutes.
  • Mix the remaining 2 teaspoon of dried, minced onions with 2 teaspoon of hot water. Gently stir and set aside. Place the dough out a lightly floured board and gently shape it into a rectangle ~12×8". Fold one third over and the other third on top (like an envelope). Gently start to roll it with your hands into a log that's ~12×4". Pinch the seams together. For the ends just tuck them under and pinch to seal. *See note if you're not using the Emile Henry Italian Loaf Bread Baker about shaping and baking in a Dutch oven.
  • To the Emile Henry Italian Loaf Bread Baker, sprinkle in a tablespoon or two of flour in the bottom to help the dough remove easily after baking. Place the loaf in the baker. Take the re-hydrated dried onion mixture and sprinkle on top of the loaf. Cover and set aside while the oven heats up.
  • 425F, put the loaf pan into the oven (covered) and bake for 40 minutes, remove the lid and bake for another 15 or until golden brown and the internal temp reaches 200F.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully empty the loaf onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool before slicing.
  • Store the bread in the Emile Henry Bread Box. It will stay fresh for ~3-5 days.

FRENCH ONION BREAD



French Onion Bread image

Makes 1 (9-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 19

4¼ cups (531 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
2¼ teaspoons (7 grams) active dry yeast*
1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
½ cup (120 grams) whole milk
½ cup (120 grams) water
⅓ cup (76 grams) unsalted butter
¼ cup (60 grams) sour cream
1 large egg (50 grams)
Caramelized Onions (recipe follows)
½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons (4 grams) fresh thyme
8 ounces (227 grams) Gruyère cheese, shredded and divided
¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
2 pounds (908 grams) Vidalia onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
½ teaspoon (2 grams) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground black pepper
½ cup (120 grams) dry sherry

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2 cups (250 grams) flour, sugar, yeast, and salt by hand.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat milk, ½ cup (120 grams) water, butter, and sour cream over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture, and using the paddle attachment, beat at medium speed until combined. Add egg, beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating until combined.
  • Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, smooth, and somewhat sticky dough forms and pulls away from bowl, 9 to 10 minutes. Add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour if dough is too sticky. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a smooth round.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Lightly punch down dough. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 21×12-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine softened butter and thyme. Spread thyme butter onto dough, leaving a ½-inch border on one long side. Sprinkle and spread Caramelized Onions onto butter. Sprinkle 6 ounces (170 grams) cheese onto onions.
  • Starting with long side opposite border, roll dough into a log, pinching seam to seal. Place log seam side down, and cut in half lengthwise, leaving 1½ inches at one end. Turn halves cut sides up, and carefully twist dough pieces around each other; form into a circle. Place, cut sides up, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, about 30 minutes.
  • Position one oven rack in center and one at top of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Bake on center rack for 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 2 ounces (57 grams) cheese on top, and bake until cheese is melted and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 15 to 20 minutes more, placing a piece of foil on top rack of oven to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add salt, sugar, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is deep golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high. Add sherry; cook until most of liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a glass bowl, and let cool to room temperature.

CHEESE & CARAMELISED ONION COBURG



Cheese & caramelised onion coburg image

This savoury cheese and onion bread is delicious served warm from the oven

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Breakfast, Buffet, Side dish

Time 3h

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

400g malted grain brown bread flour , or wholemeal or granary bread flour
100g strong white bread flour
7g sachet easy-bake dried yeast (or 2 tsp Quick dried yeast)
1½ tsp salt
1 tbsp soft butter
1 large onion , cut into thin wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
1 beaten egg
50g grated mature cheddar

Steps:

  • Mix your choice of brown flour with the white, the yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Put in the butter and rub it into the flour. Stir in the seeds if using. Make a dip in the centre of the flour and pour in almost 300ml hand warm (cool rather than hot) water, with a round-bladed knife. Then mix in enough of the remaining water and a bit more if needed, to gather up any dry bits in the bottom of the bowl and until the mixture comes together as a soft, not too sticky, dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands.
  • Put the dough on to a very lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 mins until it feels smooth and elastic, only adding the minimum of extra flour if necessary to prevent the dough sticking. Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with an upturned, clean, large glass bowl and leave for 45 mins-1 hr or until doubled in size and feels light and springy. Timing will depend on the warmth of the room.
  • Knock back the dough by lightly kneading just 3-4 times. You only want to knock out any large air bubbles, so too much handling now will lose the dough's lightness. Shape into a ball. Cover with the glass bowl and leave for 15 mins.
  • Fry the onion in the olive oil until very lightly caramelised, then leave to cool. Cut the dough in half and shape into 2 balls. Cover with the glass bowl and leave for 15 mins. Shape by flattening each ball into an 18cm round, put each on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. Make 6 deepish cuts with a sharp knife to mark each round into 6 wedges. Cover with a clean tea towel. Leave for 40-45 mins, or until doubled in size. Finish by brushing with beaten egg, scatter over the onion, then the grated cheese.
  • Put a roasting tin in the bottom of the oven 20 mins before ready to bake and heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Put the risen bread in the oven, carefully pour about 250ml cold water into the roasting tin (this will hiss and create a burst of steam to give you a crisp crust), then lower the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden. If the onion is getting too brown, lay a piece of parchment over the top. Remove and cool on a wire rack. If you tap the underneath of the loaf if should be firm and sound hollow.

ONION BREAD



Onion Bread image

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.

JEWISH ONION BREAD



Jewish Onion Bread image

Categories     Bread     Onion     Bake     Kosher     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 15 (3-inch) squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
1 (1/4-oz) package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped (2 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon nigella seeds* or poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Stir together water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved, then let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
  • Stir together 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl, then add yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons oil and stir until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead, adding enough of remaining cup flour, a little at a time, as needed to prevent stickiness, until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Form dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled large bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
  • Cook onions while dough rises:
  • Cook onions in remaining tablespoon oil with remaining teaspoon salt in an 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Cover surface of onions with a round of parchment or wax paper (or cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid) and cook onions, lifting parchment to stir frequently, until very soft and pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Shape and bake bread:
  • Transfer dough to a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan and stretch dough, first by pulling with your hands, then by pressing your fingertips into dough and working outward from center, until dough fills pan. Prick dough all over at 1-inch intervals with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border all around sides, and cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap (oiled side down). Let dough rise slightly in draft-free place at warm room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • While dough rises, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Gently brush dough with some egg wash, being careful not to deflate dough. Scatter onions evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border, then sprinkle with nigella seeds.
  • Bake until top is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Lift bread from pan and transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Cut into roughly 3-inch squares before serving.
  • *Available at specialty foods shops and Kalustyan's (800-352-3451).

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.

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup very warm water (110 degrees)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced dried onion

Steps:

  • Place the water, sugar, and yeast in the pan of your bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam in the water for 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Program your bread machine for a 1 1/2 pound basic white bread. I always choose the dark setting for the crust. This bread is excellent for the time delay feature.

Tips for Making Onion Bread:

  • Use a Sturdy Bread Flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a chewier, more flavorful bread.
  • Caramelize the Onions: Caramelizing the onions brings out their sweetness and adds a rich, deep flavor to the bread.
  • Proof the Yeast Properly: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and ready to ferment the dough. Active yeast will create a light and airy bread.
  • Knead the Dough Well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: A warm environment helps the dough to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the Bread Until Golden Brown: Baking the bread until it is golden brown ensures that it is cooked through and has a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Onion bread is a delicious, savory bread that is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste by adding different herbs, spices, or cheeses. With its caramelized onions and chewy texture, onion bread is a surefire hit that will be enjoyed by all.
