Green Onion Bread Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION BREAD

Steps:

• In a frying pan heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and golden brown. Season with salt. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, mix flour with green onion leaves. Dissolve the fresh yeast with salt and 1/3 cup (80 ml) water and add to the flour mixture. Add the rest of 1 cup (240 ml) water, mix everything together then add caramelized onion and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover it and let it sit for about 1 hour at room temperature to rise until doubled in size.
• On a floured surface roll the dough into a loaf. Place in a 6×10 inch (15x25cm) baking tray and leave to rise again for 30 minutes. A regular loaf pan should be as good. Optional sprinkle salt and few green onion chopped leaves on top.
• Preheat oven to 470F (240C). Place a small pot with water at the base of the oven to create steam.
• Bake for 15 minutes with steam then remove the pot with water from the oven.
• Reduce oven temperature to 450F (230C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes.

GREEN ONION BREAD

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixer bowl, combine 3 cups flour, yeast, onion, sugar and salt, mix well. In a saucepan, heat 2 cups water and shortening until very warm (120-130 degrees; shortening does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture. Add 2 eggs. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
• 2. Knead on floured surface, 5 to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes (15 minutes for QUICK-RISE yeast).
• 3. Punch down dough. Divide into 2 equal parts. On lightly floured surface, roll or pat each half to a 14 x 7-inch rectangle. Starting with the short side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9x5-inch bread pans. Cover; let rise in a warm place about 40 minutes (20 minutes for quick rise).
• 4. Oven: 375 degrees Combine 1 egg and 1 tbs water; brush loaves. The egg wash will make a shinny, crispy crust. With sharp knife, carefully make a slash 1/2 inch deep lengthwise down center of each loaf. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. My oven: 30 min. Remove from pans; cool. Makes great sandwiches or sliced thick and grill for Texas toast.
