Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely diced) Yellow onion
- 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale)
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat and add the finely diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and caraway seeds.
Pour in the beer and gently stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Fold the caramelized onions into the dough, distributing them evenly.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, brush the top with melted butter for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter, cheese, or your favorite spread!
