Onion Nut Bread Recipes

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 LOVER'S TWIST

Steps:

• Grease cookie sheet.
• In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Add 2 cups flour, sugar, water, milk, butter, and egg.
• Blend at low speed until moistened, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
• By hand, stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Cover: let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, (45-60 minutes).
• While dough is rising, prepare filling by mixing melting 1/4 cu0 butter in saucepan. Add onion, parmesan cheese, sesame or poppy seeds, garlic salt and paprika and mix well; set aside.
• Stir down dough. Toss on floured surface until no longer sticky.
• Roll out to an 18"x12" rectangle; spread with filling.
• Cut lengthwise into 3 strips (18"x4" each), or for 2 loaves, cut into 9"x4" strips.
• Starting with the longer side, roll up each strip; seal edges and ends.
• On a prepared cookie sheet, braid 3 rolls together. If making 2 loaves, repeat process.
• Cover: let rise until doubled, about 40-60 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or cool.

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.

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.
