Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey into the bread machine pan.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary to the bread machine pan, ensuring the salt does not touch the yeast directly to avoid hindering its activation.
Sprinkle 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the dry ingredients.
Place the cooled, toasted onions on top of the flour mixture in the bread machine pan.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. Let the machine knead and rise the dough as per the cycle instructions (typically around 90 minutes).
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Shape the dough into rolls, a loaf, or any desired shape. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the shaped dough for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
