Best Oregon Sour Cream Onion Bread Recipes

OREGON SOUR CREAM ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter until golden.
• Combine sour cream, water, yeast, salt, sugar, basil, cornmeal, and 4 cups of the flour in a mixing bowl.
• Mix with a dough hook on low speed for 3 minutes (hand kneading will take 7 to 10 minutes).
• Gradually add 4 cups of flour.
• Mix 5 to 7 minutes longer, adding more flour as needed until dough cleans side of bowl.
• Cover mixing bowl and sit in warm place until doubled (about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours).
• Punch dough down and let rise 10 minutes.
• Form into 2 round loaves and place on cornmeal-dusted 12X18" sheet pan.
• Allow to rise until doubled, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Beat egg and water.
• Gently brush loaves with egg wash.
• With a very sharp knife, cut 4 vertical and 4 horizontal slashes on top of each loaf.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 50 minutes or until well browned.

UPSIDE-DOWN SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a large pot of unsalted water; bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot over low heat, shaking until they are dry, about 1 minute. Rice or mash the potatoes using a food mill or potato masher.
• Peel the onion, cut off the ends and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. (You should have 4 slices.) Lay the slices flat on a large plate and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium low until it shimmers. Add the onion slices, seasoned-side up, and cook until the onions are fairly soft and the bottoms turn slightly golden-brown, about 6 minutes. Flip the onions and sprinkle each of the four exposed sides with another 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning in a large bowl. Stir in the mashed potatoes, breaking up any clumps, until the potatoes are well-coated with flour.
• Whisk together the milk, sour cream and egg in a separate large bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be heavy and thick; do not overmix.
• Scrape the batter into the skillet over the onions and use a knife or spatula to smooth the top. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to unmold. If the onions stick to the pan, gently lift from the skillet and place back on top of the loaf. Sprinkle with the dried chives. Let cool another 20 minutes before serving.
• Whisk together the chives, buttermilk powder, onion powder, salt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and sugar. Store extra mix in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1/4 cup.

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.
