This bread was a bit dry and the flavor was a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I actually really liked this bread. The onions were caramelized and they added a really nice sweetness to the bread.

This bread was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used salted butter. I'll try using unsalted butter next time.
