Caramelized Onion Bread
Today we are going to make onion bread, the taste and aroma of which cannot be described in words. You simply cannot buy such a bong in the store. But to bake and pamper parents with ruddy bread with the aroma of fried onions is quite possible.
Ingredient
Makes 1 loaf
- salt
- 1 bunch of green onion bulbs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Caramelized onion
- 1 large onion, chopped or thinly sliced
Dough
- 1 teaspoon (5g) of salt
- 1 bunch of green onion leaves, finely chopped
- 4 cups (500 g) flour
- 1 1/3 cups (320 mL) lukewarm water
- 25 g fresh yeast (2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast)
- caramelized onion
Directions
First, in a frying pan heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and golden brown. Season with salt. Set aside to cool.
Then, 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 6x10 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.Cool on a wire rack. Let the bread cool completely before cutting. Happy Cooking Time.
