Cooking is an art and making bread is an essential part of that art. Onion bread is a type of bread that is loved by many for its unique flavor and incredible texture. Here is a detailed step by step to make onion bread.
Ingredients
- 500 grams of wheat flour
- 10 grams of dry biological yeast
- 10 grams of sugar
- 10 grams of salt
- 300 ml of warm water
- 2 medium onions
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
Dough Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Add warm (not hot) water to the hole. Using a wooden spoon, begin mixing the flour into the water, working from the center outwards, until all the water is absorbed into the flour.
Place the dough on a clean, floured surface and start kneading. Continue kneading for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to add too much as this will make the bread tough.
Onion Preparation
While the dough is resting, prepare the onions. Peel the onions and cut them into thin slices. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden. This should take about 15 minutes. Let the onions cool.
Mixing the Onions into the Dough
Once the dough has rested and the onions have cooled, it's time to combine them. Add the onions to the dough and knead the dough until the onions are evenly distributed. This may take some time, but it's important to make sure the onions are evenly distributed so each slice of bread has an onion flavor.
Second Proofing and Roasting
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for another hour. After that, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan and place in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool before slicing it. Now you have delicious homemade onion bread! This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast or just to eat with a little butter.
Baking bread at home can seem like a daunting task, but with a little practice, you'll find it to be a very rewarding activity. And the best part is you can customize your bread with your favorite ingredients. So the next time you want to try something new in the kitchen, why not try making onion bread?
