Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Beer (any type, 12 oz can or bottle)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme (if using).

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beer. Add the caramelized onions. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the top of the batter. Use a pastry brush to spread it evenly if necessary.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your savory Onion Beer Bread on its own or with butter, soup, or a hearty stew.
