Begin by caramelizing the onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add finely chopped onions and cook slowly until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the breadmaker.
In the breadmaker pan, add the ingredients in the following order: warm water, milk, olive oil, sugar, and salt.
Add the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it completely covers the liquids.
Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the top of the flour.
Create a small well in the center of the flour, ensuring it does not reach the liquids underneath, and add the instant dry yeast.
Add the cooled caramelized onions to one corner of the breadmaker pan, keeping them separate from the yeast.
Place the pan into the breadmaker and select the basic or white bread cycle, the 1 1/2-pound loaf size, and your desired crust setting (medium recommended).
Press start and allow the breadmaker to complete the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking processes.
Once the bread is baked, and the cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the breadmaker. Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
