Bloomin' Onion Bread

I. LOVE. BREAD! Nothing beats fresh, warm bread straight out the oven. That smell is just pure comfort and reminds me of home each and every time!

For as long as I’ve had my Facebook page and Facebook group, the number one thing folks always ask for help on is making bread.

I think what folks are still a tad scared of is working with yeast. This is why I ONLY use Red Star Yeast. I’ve been using them for decades and they are THE BEST out there.

When I tell you that this breadbox is a must-have, believe me! It’s absolutely GORGEOUS! Plus, just like the rest of the products, it really works!

Their breadbox creates an environment that balances humidity, needed for a soft interior, and provides the air circulation needed to maintain a crusty crust.

It is designed large enough to allow for air circulation, yet it is small enough to fit neatly on a countertop. And since the interior is unglazed, that helps to absorb moisture.

You may be wondering if that’s a typo where I tell you to form into a log, fold into an envelop and form the log again. It’s not.

This is a very rustic way of “layering” your dough. It adds lightness and air into the dough. You can most certainly do this up to 10 times if you wish. I usually do 2-3 times and honestly, it depends on the dough and how it feels.

After a 40 minute covered bake and a 15-20 minute bake without the cover (this helps with browning and coloring), the baker is removed from the oven and the bread is turned out onto a cooling rack.

The biggest thing I recommend when making bread is to test the internal temperature. Just like when you make chicken or beef, bread has a doneness temperature too – 200F. I use this thermometer.

Yes, you read that right! You do not have to preheat your baking vessel (in my case the Emile Henry Italian Loaf Baker) or your dutch oven!

For years the rule of thumb was that you had to preheat your dutch oven or baker for at least 30 minutes BEFORE your baked your bread. All of my previously published recipes tell you to do this. There’s nothing wrong with doing it, to be honest. There is a

Onion Bread Recipe For The Bread Machine

I’m friends with several bread bakers throughout the world and we all started to notice that folks were well, rewriting the rules. That you didn’t have to preheat your pan but that you could put your loaves in a cold pot and bake away.

As I said, I noticed a very slight difference. I would say that most folks wouldn’t notice but since I bake bread daily I’m a more tuned in if you will.

What I noticed is that when you use a preheated Dutch oven (*Note do not preheat the Emile Henry product – this is more for the dutch oven method), you will get a super hard crust on the outside.

When you use a cold pan (either the baker or a dutch oven), the crust will still be hard but not rock solid. Now, it will crisp up more as it cools down. It’ll still be crusty bread but not super crispy/crunchy like the preheated pan would be.

One of the 9 million things I LOVE about this Bread box is that the cover, flips over and you have a built-in cutting board! You can make perfectly even cuts as thick or thin as you want!

For the longest time, I stored my freshly baked bread in a paper bag or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap followed by a plastic bag.
