Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until they are soft and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and the sautéed onion (including any butter from the skillet).
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with butter or cream cheese.
