Ingredients

• 4 cups Bread flour
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, minced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.

Step 2

While the yeast activates, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Stir in the parsley, rosemary, and thyme.

Step 4

Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Add the caramelized onions to the dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan or shape it into a rustic round and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
