How to Make Cheese And Onion Bread

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the warm milk and mix on medium speed with a heavy-duty mixer for 3-4 minutes until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand for 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly.
  4. Add the egg, then the chopped onion (or chives/scallions) and cheese. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky. If using, add olive oil at this stage.
  6. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Gently punch down the dough. Shape it into a loaf or two smaller loaves.
  8. Place the loaf(ves) in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Brush the top of the loaf(ves) with melted butter (optional).
  12. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
