Mom's onion bread image

My mom use to make this for my brother and I when we were young. I had forgotten about this recipe until I had an onion roll purchased at Albertsons. This bread is good toasted aside eggs and bacon. Excellent for a my husbands favorite liverwurst and onion sandwich.

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg rapid rise yeast
2 c warm water
1/3 c sugar
1 pkg onion soup mix
2 Tbsp molasses
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/3 c shortening
5-6 c ap flour

Steps:

  • 1. Disolve the 2 packages of yeast in the warm water until yeast proofs ( I do this in my kitchenaid )
  • 2. Once proofed add remaning ingredients except the flour and mix until blended ( I do this with the dough hook attachment )
  • 3. Add 3 cups of flour and mix you will need to add more flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl. I add in 1/2 a cup increments
  • 4. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let it rise until double ( mine doubled in an hour. I let me dough rise in my microwave )
  • 5. Once you have reached your first rise punch down and form two loaves and place in your loaf pans. Let the dough rise for the 2nd time until double
  • 6. Brush with melted butter. You can top with whatever you wish or leave it plain. I made one loaf with poppy seeds and 2nd with sesame seeds and dried onions
  • 7. If you are using a glass loaf pan your oven needs to be at 325 and if your are using metal loaf pan your oven needs to be at 350.
  • 8. Bake 45 minutes until your bread is golden brown and let cool on a wire rack
