Best Onion Bread For The Abm Recipes

ONION BREAD FOR THE ABM

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread pan in order recommended by manufacturer.
• Bake on regular cycle.
• This will also work on rapid bake cycles.

ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Place the water, sugar, and yeast in the pan of your bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam in the water for 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Program your bread machine for a 1 1/2 pound basic white bread. I always choose the dark setting for the crust. This bread is excellent for the time delay feature.

HANDMADE ONION BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and half the flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size, approximately 35 minutes.
• While the dough is rising, place thinly sliced or finely chopped onion in a sauté pan with sesame seeds, garlic, and butter. Sauté until caramelized (light brown). Remove from heat and let cool.
• Gradually add the rest of the flour, kneading JUST until smooth. I usually knead gently with my fingertips to work the flour inches When the dough has absorbed all the flour and is beginning to get tacky, I stop kneading. (One thing I discovered was to use ONLY the amount of flour listed, even as the dusting powder for the kneading surface. So 8 cups TOTAL and no more, or the bread comes out very heavy.)
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Allow to rise until doubled, approximately 35 minutes.
• Punch down the dough. Divide dough into three equal parts. Pour onion mixture onto the dough and fold over on itself JUST enough to distribute the onion mix throughout the dough.
• Shape into loaves (they will be a little ugly here, not smoothed on top), and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled, approximately 35 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes (mine are done in 30 no problem). The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.

ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.
• Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.
• Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour into the well.
• Close up bread machine.
• Choose the "basic" setting that most machines have - it's the three hour setting on mine.
• I always use the "light" crust color because the bread comes out quite a bit softer.

ONION HERB BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in machine in manufacturer's recommended order.
• Set on medium crust or white bread setting.
• When done, remove from pan and cool on wire rack 30 minutes.
• Slice and serve with butter.

RED PEPPER & RED ONION BREAD (ABM / MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place bread machine pan on electronic scales and weigh in / add the ingredients. (280ml water weighs 280g).
• Replace pan in bread machine and start on suitable cycle - I favour the wholemeal cycle with a dark crust as it has the longest rise time but still has a beep for adding ingredients plus I like my bread to be crusty. Machines vary but the raisin bread setting should also be fine.
• Whilst the machine is kneading, chop and prepare the red pepper & red onion into a small bowl and season to taste with a little fresh ground black pepper, a very generous dash of dried (or fresh) garlic (possibly some basil/oregano if you fancy it herby, and paprika if you *really* love it spicy!).
• Add the pepper & onion a bit at a time during the last five minutes of the final knead (my machine does its beep five minutes before the end of the final (second) knead) as there is a lot of liquid in these fresh ingredients and if you add them all at once it would make the dough rather too wet. Basically add about half of them at the beep and the other half a few minutes later.
• Enjoy!
• (Time listed includes total kneading, rising & baking time).

ONION HERB BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients in machine in manufacturer's recommended order.
• 2. Set on medium crust or white bread setting.
• 3. When done, remove from pan and cool on wire rack 30 minutes before slicing.

BACON, CHEDDAR AND ONION BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients (except cheese, bacon and onion) in machine in order recommended by manufacturer.
• 2. Set on Fruit and Nut (or raisin) cycle. When machine beeps, add cheese, bacon and onion.
• 3. If your machine doesn't have this cycle, you can add everything at once, but it will "pulverize" the bacon (but you will still have the flavor).
