Ingredients for 20 Servings:
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (45 ml)
- 3 onions
- 1 cup milk (240 ml)
- 8 grams dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (30 ml)
- 60 ml unrefined sunflower oil (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon salt (5 grams)
- 3 cups flour (360 grams)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (15 grams)
Instructions:
Prepare the Sponge:
Mix the yeast with 1 tablespoon of flour. Pour warm milk into a large bowl, add salt and sugar, and stir until dissolved. Add the flour-yeast mixture and stir well. Cover the bowl and let it sit in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Onions:
Peel and dice the onions. Sauté them in heated vegetable oil until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and sugar, mix well, and let cool.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the slightly warm sautéed onions, egg, sour cream, and half of the sunflower oil to the sponge. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or a large whisk.
Knead the Dough:
Gradually add the sifted flour to the mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil at the end. Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes. Punch it down and let it rise for another 15 minutes.
Shape and Bake:
Punch down the dough again. Shape it into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shape the dough into a loaf.
Heat the remaining sunflower oil and brush it over the surface of the bread. Make 3–4 slashes on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 30 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven, cover with a towel, and let it cool for 1 hour.
Helpful Tip:
If you use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast, remember to increase the amount to about 20 grams for this recipe.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve onion bread with aromatic olive oil. Simply crush a garlic clove, mix with olive oil, and let it sit for an hour. Strain if desired, and enjoy with your freshly baked bread.
