My mom sent me a box of Walla Walla sweet onions. Determined to use them all before they went bad, I have been making a lot of onion bread. I caramelize 1 or 2 onions and add them to the sponge*. I used the last onion for this bread batch. I added beer and pasta water as well. This dough is about to get punched!
See those little brown flavor crystals? Those are onion. This is going to be tasty.
*Sponge. It seems that can mean so many things in bread making. When I say "sponge," I am referring to a process to really get the yeast going. I mix flour, liquid, starter, sugar, and maybe goodies together and let it get all bubbly. This is the time to control the sourness. The longer it sponges, the more sour the dough.
yummm what a delightful combination. thanks for sharing!
