In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In the bread machine pan, add the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, start with the wet ingredients: water, unsalted butter (softened), and caramelized onions.
Next, add the dry ingredients: flour, salt, sugar, and dry milk powder. Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the instant yeast.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the other ingredients in the pan.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting (depending on your machine’s options), and select the crust color and loaf size as desired.
Press start and let the bread machine run through the kneading, rising, and baking cycles. Avoid lifting the lid during operation to ensure consistent results.
Once the machine beeps to indicate the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread maintain its structure and avoid becoming overly moist inside.
Slice and serve warm or room temperature. This onion cheese bread pairs well with soups, stews, or can be enjoyed on its own.
