Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Add warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough begins to form.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and add it to the dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, followed by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the dough up tightly from the shorter side to form a loaf. Pinch the seam to seal and place the loaf seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.
Brush the top of the loaf with milk to help it brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
