SAVORY ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease one 8 inch round or one 8x8 inch square pan.
• Combine flour, baking powder and salt, cut in 2 tablespoons of the butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
• Fry the onion in 1 tablespoon of the butter or margarine until clear and golden. Set aside.
• In a small bowl beat the egg and stir in the milk and the cooked onion. Pour egg mixture into the well in the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. You will have a soft dough. Pat dough into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup grated cheese over top.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Serve hot. Makes about 6 servings.

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.

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.

MOM'S ONION BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Disolve the 2 packages of yeast in the warm water until yeast proofs ( I do this in my kitchenaid )
• 2. Once proofed add remaning ingredients except the flour and mix until blended ( I do this with the dough hook attachment )
• 3. Add 3 cups of flour and mix you will need to add more flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl. I add in 1/2 a cup increments
• 4. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let it rise until double ( mine doubled in an hour. I let me dough rise in my microwave )
• 5. Once you have reached your first rise punch down and form two loaves and place in your loaf pans. Let the dough rise for the 2nd time until double
• 6. Brush with melted butter. You can top with whatever you wish or leave it plain. I made one loaf with poppy seeds and 2nd with sesame seeds and dried onions
• 7. If you are using a glass loaf pan your oven needs to be at 325 and if your are using metal loaf pan your oven needs to be at 350.
• 8. Bake 45 minutes until your bread is golden brown and let cool on a wire rack
