Carmelized Onion Bread
Carmelized Onion Bread
(This will make two small loaves)
Caramelized Onion
1 large onion, chopped or thinly sliced
1 bunch green onion bulbs, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
salt
Dough
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
25 g fresh yeast
1 bunch green onion leaves, finely chopped
250-300 ml warm water
Directions
1. In a frying pan heat oil over medium high heat. Cook onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until golden brown. Season with salt. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour with salt. Dissolve the fresh yeast in water and add to the flour mixture. Mix everything togheter then add caramelized onion and green onion leaves and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl. Cover it and let it sit for about 1 hour at room temperature, to let the dough rise until doubled in size.
3. Preheat oven to 240C (470F) 30 minutes before baking. Spoon 1 tablespoon flour into a small baking tray, put the dough in the tray and let sit until the oven is hot. Optional sprinkle salt and few green onion chopped leaves on top.
4. Put an empty baking pot in the oven ten minutes before baking. As you put the baking tray in the oven, add a cup of hot water in the empty pot, in this way it will instantly boil and create steam. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Remove the bread from the baking tray and cool on a wire rack.

Cheesy, Garlic Savory Cupcakes
*I didn't take pictures, but envision the savory cupcakes below, but a little darker, a lot cheesier and no chives.
2 Cups Flour
1 T Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1/2 stick melted butter (1/2 stick = 1/2 cup)
1 Cup sour cream (I prefer restaurant style)
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar
1/2 Cup Shredded Reggiano
1/4 Cup Shredded Parmesean
Parsley to taste (I probably used about 2 tablespoons)
Paprika to taste (I probably used 3 tablespoons)
Garlic to taste (I probably used.... way too much lol. Use as much as you're comfortable usuing. I love Garlic so I over load everything with it).
Pepper to taste (Probably a tablespoon)
Sea Salt to taste (probably a tablespoon)
Oregano to taste (Probably a tablespoon).
Mix all of your dry ingredients together in one bowl. Add the melted butter and mix, then add the sour cream, eggs and cheeses and mix together. Beat the mixture on medium speed, until everything is combined. Sometimes, it's easier to beat for a little while, then use your hands to kind of knead the mixture. It blends easier when you do it with your own hands, I find. Once mixed together, (it'll be a sticky, clumpy mixture), put into a greased muffin tin. At this point, I used my sea salt grinder, and put a little fresh sea salt on top. I did the same with a bit of pepper. Cook on a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
I duplicated this recipe, and cooked it in a bread pan and sliced it up into a small loaf.
DELICIOUS! You can add flavors you like and take out the ones you want. I love the garlic, but some of my family didn't, so make it without (or less) if you're not a garlic fan. Want to spice it up a bit? Add more paprika! You can switch it up by varying the cheeses and spices.

Cheddar & Chive Cupcakes
2 Cups Flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 Tsp baking soda
1 Tsp salt
2 Eggs
1/2 Stick butter, melted
1 Cup shredded cheddar
1 Cup sour cream
1/2 Cup chopped Chives
Pepper to taste
Parsley to taste
Directions
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, melted butter, and cheddar, and beat until combined. It'll look like a crumbly, flakey mess. Add sour cream and chives and mix until combined. Mixture will be light and fluffy. Drop by spoonful into greased small muffin pan. I used a regular sized muffin tin and got 12 decent sized cupcakes. I added some parsley and pepper to the top of each once they were in the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Best served warm or reheated in the oven.Once cooled, I put a little bit of whipped cream cheese and some fresh chives. They were delicious. For those who didn't eat them with cream cheese, they were just as delicious with butter.
