Equipment

bread machine
bread knife
bread storage bags
wire cooling rack

Ingredients

1 cup warm water approximately 110°F
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour plus more if needed
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten optional
2 tsp yeast instant, active dry, or bread maker
1½ cups roasted or caramelized onions diced

Instructions

Add all the ingredients except for onions to the bread maker pan in the order listed (for Cuisinart machines*). If baking in the bread machine, select the basic/white bread setting, choose the 1.5 pound loaf size and your prefered crust color. If baking in the oven, select the dough setting and 1.5 pound loaf size. Turn on the mix in function.
*For other bread machine brands refer to the instruction manual for the correct order to add ingredients.
When the mix in signal chimes, add onions, reserving a small amount for the top of the bread if desired. Use a spatula to help knead the onions into the dough if necessary. If dough becomes too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until a tacky and soft dough ball forms.
For machine baking, once the kneading cycle is finished carefully brush the top of the dough with milk or egg white. Sprinkle on any reserved onions. If baking in the oven, remove the dough from the bread pan. Punch down a few times and reshape into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and cover with a heavy towel. Put in a warm place and let rise for 30-40 minutes, then gently brush the top of the dough with milk or egg white being careful not to deflate the dough. Sprinkle with any reserved onions and bake at 350℉ for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is about 190℉.
Remove bread from the machine or oven when done. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

For non-Cuisinart machines, put in the ingredients in the order suggested by your machine's instructions. Then choose the loaf size and crust color if your machine has these options.

Storing: Onion bread is freezer-friendly and can be stored for up to 6 months in an airtight plastic bag. It keeps well at room temperature for around 3 days and in the fridge for around 5.
