How to Make Cheesy Onion Rye Bread

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups rye flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, the sautéed onion, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually add ½ cup warm milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf.
  7. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise for another 45-60 minutes, or until almost doubled.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush the loaf with water, sprinkle lightly with flour, and cut a criss-cross pattern on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
