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.
