Onion Nigella Bread

From Spice by Christine Manfield page 269


I've made bread plenty of times but who's ever heard of putting caramelised onion into it???

But what a fantastic result!

The glazing of egg yolk on the outside gives it an unusual look and seemed to add to the flavour through the aroma it gave off. Halfway through cooking the bread seemed to be giving off the sweet scent of doughnuts. Gotta try that one again.

When I put the mix together it seemed quite dry.



With a little bit of kneading though the moisture from the yogurt and the onion combined with the flour and the ratio was spot on. Didn't really need any further liquid or flour.




And with a little more skillfull kneading...


The bread was ready to rest...


Fantastic with lamb and probably plenty of other things too.

Happy cooking!
