I like this bread because it's a great base to make a sandwich.  I don't

 

 

always use the Italian spices except when pasta is also on the menu. 

 

 

Add extra cheese on each slice and put under the broiler for your

 

 

cheese lovers.

​

About the Ingredients . . .

​

​

•  Onion-White or yellow onions; diced spring onions are good too!

​

​

•  Garlic-Adds a lot of flavor to this recipe.

​

​

•  Butter-Not much is required, unsalted is best.

​

​

•  All-Purpose Flour-Fresh four makes a better loaf of bread,

​

​

•  Sugar-Necessary to feed the yeast.

​

​

•  Italian Spices-You can use dried, freeze-dried or fresh.

​

​

•  Yeast-Use the regular yeast in the packet, not rapid-rise.

​

​

•  Milk-Whole milk works the best!

​

​

•  Shredded cheese-You can use cheddar, Swiss or Parmesan.

​

​

•  Egg-Fresh, of course.

​

Instructions

​

 

​

 

1.   In a small skillet, melt the butter and add the onions (and garlic);

 

 

     sauté just until crisp-tender; set aside.

 

 

2.   In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, spices, salt, and

 

 

     yeast.  Set aside.

​

​

3.  In a small pan, heat the milk and water until 120°F to 130°F.  Pour into

 

 

     the flour mixture then add the cheese, beaten egg and sauteed

 

 

     onions.

​

​

4.  On low speed, blend until moistened; then beat at medium speed

 

 

     for 2 minutes.  Stir in the remaining flour until you have a stiff batter.

​

​

     If necessary, you can add up to an additional ½ cup flour to get the

 

 

     right consistency.  Just make sure all the flour is thoroughly mixed in.

​

 

5.  Spoon into the prepared pan; cover and let rise in a warm place

 

 

     until light and almost doubled in size, 30 to 50 minutes.

​

​

6.  Preheat oven to 350°F; bake for 30 to 45 minutes until bread is

 

 

     golden brown.  Remove from pan; cool on rack.

​

​

​

*Start with 2 cups and increase gradually up to ½ cup if needed.
