Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces beer (lager or ale)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gently stir in the caramelized onions to evenly distribute them throughout the dry ingredients.
Pour in the beer and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Drizzle the top of the batter with the melted salted butter for a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
