Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the dried thyme, oregano, and parsley. Allow the onion mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

Flatten the dough into a rectangle and spread the onion-herb mixture evenly over the top. Knead the dough gently to incorporate the onion mixture throughout.

Step 8

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 10

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Bake the bread for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

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 before slicing.
