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