Overview
This recipe for soft onion bread is a delightful way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without spending hours in the kitchen. The process begins with a simple yeast mixture, where warm milk and water are combined with sugar and yeast to create a bubbly starter. This step is crucial as it activates the yeast, ensuring a good rise in the dough.
Once the yeast is ready, flour and salt are added, and the dough is kneaded until it reaches a soft, non-sticky consistency. This kneading process is essential for developing gluten, which gives the bread its structure and chewiness. After a brief resting period, the dough is rolled out and topped with a mixture of green onions, sesame seeds, and melted butter, adding a savory flavor profile that complements the bread beautifully.
Cooking the bread in a skillet allows for a quick and easy preparation method, resulting in a soft, fluffy interior with a slightly crispy exterior. The final touch of brushing the bread with oil and sprinkling sesame seeds before cooking adds an extra layer of flavor and texture. This onion bread is not only delicious but also versatile, making it a perfect side for soups, salads, or as a standalone snack.
Overall, this recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy homemade bread without the fuss of traditional baking methods. It’s quick, easy, and sure to impress anyone who tries it. Whether you’re serving it at a family dinner or enjoying it as a snack, this onion bread is bound to be a hit!
