Hi pmorrisjones

The tastiest bread that I make is one with caramelised onions. You'll need about three decent sized onions for a 2lb loaf. I make mine by hand but you could adapt it to a breadmaker.

Use your basic recipe in the bread machine but set to making dough rather than cooking it in the machine. I've tried baking it in the machine and although it still works the onions get chopped to bits and the flavour isn't the same.

Slice the onions very finely and cook very slowly on a low heat with a good glug of worcester sauce until you have a brown gooey mix.

After the first rise removed the dough from the machine, knock back the dough and mix in the onions.

Let it rise again and then top with cheese and pop into the oven for about 20 minutes or until the bread looks cooked and sounds hollow when tapped.

Tip: when adding cheese to your bread mix also add a little mustard powder (about half a teaspoon) as it brings out the flavour of the cheese. Also, as cheese contains fat you may not need so much oil or butter.

I just tried a slice of this fresh from the oven, smoothered in butter.

It is amazing, thankyou for the recipe.:T

Wish I hadn't read this recipe, now really fancy some fresh hot bread!

I'll add it to my ever-growing ingredient list. I decided not to buy any more food until after the next BH, and I will NOT be broken, I tell you!

PS When I do get round to it, I'll be using balsamic vinegar instead of Worcester sauce.
