Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Add warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough begins to form.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and add it to the dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden and caramelized. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 8

Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, followed by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Roll the dough up tightly from the shorter side to form a loaf. Pinch the seam to seal and place the loaf seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 10

Brush the top of the loaf with milk to help it brown during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
