ONION BREAD II

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Stir salt, shortening, minced onions, oregano and 2 cups bread flour into yeast mixture. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Stir dough to deflate and place it into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until the top of the dough is within 1/2 inch of the top of the pan, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• After loaf has risen, arrange onion slices on top of the loaf. Pour melted butter over the slices and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.

OREGON SOUR CREAM ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter until golden.
• Combine sour cream, water, yeast, salt, sugar, basil, cornmeal, and 4 cups of the flour in a mixing bowl.
• Mix with a dough hook on low speed for 3 minutes (hand kneading will take 7 to 10 minutes).
• Gradually add 4 cups of flour.
• Mix 5 to 7 minutes longer, adding more flour as needed until dough cleans side of bowl.
• Cover mixing bowl and sit in warm place until doubled (about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours).
• Punch dough down and let rise 10 minutes.
• Form into 2 round loaves and place on cornmeal-dusted 12X18" sheet pan.
• Allow to rise until doubled, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Beat egg and water.
• Gently brush loaves with egg wash.
• With a very sharp knife, cut 4 vertical and 4 horizontal slashes on top of each loaf.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 50 minutes or until well browned.

ONION BREAD

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

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.

BREAD MACHINE HERBED ONION BREAD

• In bread machine put ingredients in, in order given.
• Select basic bread setting.
• Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing: add 1 to 2 TBL. of water or flour if needed.
• *Timer feature not recomended for this recipe.
• Recipe makes a 1-1/2lb. loaf.

HANDMADE ONION BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and half the flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size, approximately 35 minutes.
• While the dough is rising, place thinly sliced or finely chopped onion in a sauté pan with sesame seeds, garlic, and butter. Sauté until caramelized (light brown). Remove from heat and let cool.
• Gradually add the rest of the flour, kneading JUST until smooth. I usually knead gently with my fingertips to work the flour inches When the dough has absorbed all the flour and is beginning to get tacky, I stop kneading. (One thing I discovered was to use ONLY the amount of flour listed, even as the dusting powder for the kneading surface. So 8 cups TOTAL and no more, or the bread comes out very heavy.)
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Allow to rise until doubled, approximately 35 minutes.
• Punch down the dough. Divide dough into three equal parts. Pour onion mixture onto the dough and fold over on itself JUST enough to distribute the onion mix throughout the dough.
• Shape into loaves (they will be a little ugly here, not smoothed on top), and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled, approximately 35 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes (mine are done in 30 no problem). The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.
