Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely sliced
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Asiago cheese, shredded
- 12 ounces Beer (any variety, room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing on top)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is deeply golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Fold in the shredded Asiago cheese and caramelized onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
Pour the beer into the bowl, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Brush the top of the batter with olive oil or melted butter to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or slice and serve warm.
