Ingredients

  • 1 cup water, plus
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/3 cup onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups white bread flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Add ingredients to machine as per manufacturers recommendations.
  • About 10 minutes after the machine has begun to knead the dough, check consistency.
  • Dough should be starting to form a smooth round ball.
  • When touched the dough should be slightly tacky to the touch; however no dough should remain on the finger.
  • If dough is to dry, add 1 Tbsp of water and allow machine to knead a few minutes before checking.
  • If dough is to wet, add 1 Tbsp of flour and again allow machine to knead a few minutes before checking.
  • Select the whole wheat cycle and allow the machine to do the rest.
  • The 3 hour cook time is approximate, actual cook time will depend upon bread machine being used.
