Oregon Sour Cream Onion Bread Recipes

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.

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.

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix onion with sour cream, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and dill.
• Pour onion mixture into the baking pan and spread carefully over the cornbread layer with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
