How to Make Quick Italian Bread
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of Bisquick baking mix, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of milk. Beat until smooth. The mixture will be sticky.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently 10 times, adding a tablespoon or two of flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Butter an 8 or 9-inch pie pan and your hands.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 large egg.
- Spread the cheese and egg mixture evenly over the dough.
- Top with the sautéed onion and butter mixture, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds.
- Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch closely towards the end of baking.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving.
