Description
Delicious caramelized onion sourdough bread with a rich flavor profile.
Ingredients
- Sourdough starter: provides tangy flavor and rise
- Caramelized onions: add sweetness and savory flavor
- Asiago cheese: brings a nutty, slightly sharp flavor
- Bread flour: gives structure and chewiness
- Water: hydrates the dough
- Salt: enhances flavor and strengthens dough
- Olive oil: helps tenderize the dough and adds richness
Instructions
- Prepare the sourdough starter if you haven’t already. Combine flour and water, and let it ferment for 7–10 days until bubbly.
- Caramelize the onions: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then cook chopped onions until golden brown and soft, about 20–30 minutes. Let cool.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, bread flour, water, and salt. Stir until the dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the caramelized onions and Asiago cheese: Gently fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Proof the dough: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 4–6 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough: Shape it into a round or oval loaf and let rest for 30 minutes while preheating the oven.
- Bake the bread: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake for 30–40 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- Cool the bread: Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the sourdough starter is active for the best results.
- You can substitute Asiago cheese with any cheese of your preference.
- Store the bread in a paper bag to maintain crustiness.
