Swedish Onion Bread

Ingredients

Onion - 10.6 oz
Milk - 7 fl oz
Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz
Salt - 2 teaspoons
Sugar - 2 teaspoons
Butter - 2 teaspoons
Dry yeast - 0.4 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel and chop the onion, then sauté it in vegetable oil until lightly golden. Allow to cool.

Step 2

Sift the flour, make a well in the center, and add the warmed (not exceeding 40°C) milk, salt, sugar, melted butter, and yeast.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients until a homogeneous, non-sticky dough forms, then add the onion and begin kneading the dough (it is important to knead for at least 20 minutes).

Step 4

Leave the dough to rise for 2 hours. After that, punch it down and knead again (for 5 minutes).

Step 5

Shape the dough into a loaf and make decorative cuts on top.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

To give the bread an appetizing glossy finish, beat an egg yolk and brush it over the bread 7 minutes before it is done. After baking, let the bread rest for 7-10 minutes. The bread looks great topped with sesame seeds and herbs.
