Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2.5 cups Bread flour
• 1 cup Rye flour
• 1 tablespoon Vital wheat gluten
• 2 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Caramelized onions (cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the caramelized onions: Dice one medium onion and cook it in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool completely before using in the bread.

Step 2

Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with the wet ingredients: warm water, olive oil, and honey.

Step 3

Next, add the dry ingredients: bread flour, rye flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten. Make sure to keep the salt and yeast separate in the bread machine to avoid early activation.

Step 4

Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the instant dry yeast into the well.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooled caramelized onions and caraway seeds around the edges of the mixture in the bread machine pan.

Step 6

Select the 'Basic/Rapid' or 'Whole Wheat' setting on your bread machine. Choose the 'light' or 'medium' crust color, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Start the bread machine, then allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process typically takes about 3 to 3.5 hours depending on your bread machine model.

Step 8

Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your hearty onion rye bread with butter or as the base for your favorite sandwich!
