Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the caramelized onions. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, caramelized onions, and dried parsley (if using) evenly over the dough.
Starting from one of the short edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it, and tuck the ends under slightly.
Place the dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan. Cover loosely with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffed up.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
