Onion Lover's Twist
1970 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest winner
This is my favorite bread recipe. I have
modified it a bit from the original which I got out of a Pillsbury cookbook. This is what
I make every time I have company. It tastes absolutely fantastic and its even better
toasted the next day. (If there is any left). Its a bit more work then
usual but its worth it.
BREAD
4 cups bread Flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tea active dry yeast
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 egg
FILLING:
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sesame or poppy seed
1 teaspoon garlic salt
I put the water, milk, butter and
egg in the Microwave and warm up a wee bit. Then add all the bread ingredients
to the ABM. Set for dough and press start. Keep an eye on it as this is 4 cups
of flour (It will work in most 3 cup ABM's). I have to help the mixture get
started in my ABM. Stir it a bit with a small rubber spatula.
Grease large cookie sheet. Melt
1/4 cup margarine in small saucepan; stir in remaining filling ingredients. Set
aside.
When dough is ready. Take out of
ABM and punch it down to remove all air bubbles. Roll dough into
18x12-inch rectangle. Cut dough lengthwise into three 18x4 strips. Starting with
the long side roll up into a 18 inch long tube. Place all three tubes on the
cookie sheet oblong from corner to corner. Braid and pinch the ends together.
Now take the filling and using a teaspoon put the filling under the braids. You
should have just enough filling to put into every crack on the loaf. Spray with
a non stick spray and cover with a piece of Plastic wrap. Let rise for about
45-60 minutes, remove plastic and then put into a cold oven (Do not preheat)
Turn on oven and set at 350 F. . Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and
the loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. I have found that I prefer this
bread a wee bit on the light side rather then a deep golden brown. To me it
tastes better (more moist). This will rise more in the oven and makes one very
big beautiful loaf. Its really not hard to do and it looks fantastic.
