Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely sliced
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Asiago cheese, shredded
• 12 ounces Beer (any variety, room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing on top)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is deeply golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded Asiago cheese and caramelized onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 5

Pour the beer into the bowl, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Brush the top of the batter with olive oil or melted butter to enhance browning.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or slice and serve warm.
