ONION LOVER'S TWIST BREAD
Ancient recipe. This is an involved yeast bread but it is beautiful and tasty! The filling could easily be herbs rather than onion. The paprika makes for a nice color in the filling but it could easily be omitted. Add more herbs though to absorb the butter.

ONION LOVER'S TWIST
Age-old family favorite. We make this every year around Christmas time....It lasts about a day in our house. This is a no knead yeast bread filled with buttery onions and seasonings, shaped in a braid. It was also the grand prize winner in the 1970 Pillsbury Bake-off.
