Best Herbed Onion Beer Bread With Cheddar Recipes

UNA'S CHEDDAR BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm beer slightly. Stir in milk and 2 tablespoons margarine to melt. Pour contents into bread machine pan. Pour in flour. Make a well in the center of the flour, and sprinkle salt onto one side of the mound that forms. Into the well, pour the sugar and yeast. Sprinkle with pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs. Begin the dough cycle.
• Meanwhile, slice the cheese into pea-size crumbles. Avoid using shredded cheese, as it may clump. Once the dough forms into a sticky ball, gradually add the cheese crumbles.
• As the cycle continues and the cheese fully incorporates into the dough, the ball should still be somewhat soft and sticky. If it is too dry, add a bit of milk.
• When the cycle has completed, punch down the dough, and divide it in half. Place each half into a greased loaf pan, and allow the dough to rise, about 45 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• When the dough has risen, bake for 1 hour, or until the loaves are golden brown and make a hollow sound when thumped. Immediately turn out onto a cooling rack, and brush with melted margarine. Cool completely before cutting.

Spread the batter, which will form into a ball, evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the sunflower seeds, if using. (I moistened the top with beaten egg and we didn't have sunflower seeds).
• Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 45 to 55 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

HERBED ONION BEER BREAD WITH CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F; grease a 9x5 loaf pan well and set aside.
• Into a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and mustard powder; it's easiest to do this by shaking mixture into bowl through a sieve.
• If you don't want to sift (it's best to do so), combine those ingredients well using a fork.
• Add basil, minced green onions and cheese.
• Pour in beer, stirring only to combine; don't over-stir.
• Spread batter evenly in prepared loaf pan.
• Arrange the onion rings over entire top, then sprinkle cheese over, then sesame seeds if using.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a tester inserted into centre of loaf comes out clean.
• Remove loaf from pan immediately and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes; loaf is best if served warm so should be served right away, but it can be make ahead of time and then rewarmed to serve, if desired.
