Herb Onion Batter Bread
 
 
A casserole bread with all the flavor of herb stuffing.
Yield: One 2-quart casserole loaf
Ingredients
  • 3¼ cups bread flour
  • 1 package (2¼ tsp, ¼oz, 7g) RED STAR Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground sage
  • ½ tsp rosemary leaves, crushed
  • ¼ tsp thyme leaves, crushed
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 1 egg
Instructions
  1. In large mixer bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, sage, rosemary and thyme; mix well. In small skillet, sauté onion in butter until golden. Add to flour mixture. Add warm water (120-130°F) and egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter.
  3. Spoon into greased 2-quart casserole. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour. Bake at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove from casserole; serve warm or cold.
Notes
You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) in place of Active Dry Yeast in batter/no knead recipes. When using Instant Yeast, expect your batter/dough to rise faster - about 50% faster. Adjust your rise times accordingly. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use ½ tsp Instant Yeast OR ¾ tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
