How to Make Handmade Onion Bread
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive), 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- Mix thoroughly and let the sponge rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 35 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the caramelized onion mixture: Sauté 2 large onions, thinly sliced, in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, over medium heat until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour to the risen sponge, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Knead gently for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, approximately 35-45 minutes.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into three equal parts.
- Incorporate the cooled caramelized onion mixture into the dough by gently folding it in until evenly distributed.
- Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in three greased 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch bread pans.
- Let the loaves rise in the pans until almost doubled, approximately 35-45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil during the last few minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
