Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until they are soft and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Step 4
Fold the chopped walnuts into the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and the sautéed onion (including any butter from the skillet).
Step 6
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 7
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with butter or cream cheese.
