Cheese ‘N Onion Bread

Teresa Ambra

Cheese ‘N Onion Bread is a tasty recipe from our Black and Decker Breadmaker cookbook. It has lots of savory cheddar cheese and onions that give the bread a marvelous taste. You just throw everything in the breadmaker and it does the work! I can do easy! This is one of the loaves I have made repeatedly when taking a meal to others, too.

We love bread . . . especially homemade bread. I grew up with a strong tradition of home baked bread as the only kind of bread I ate for years.  After John and I married I finally asked my mom to teach me how to make her homemade bread. After I finally gained some proficiency in the art of bread-making, I made it a lot for our family.

There is nothing like a thick slab of homemade bread toasted for breakfast. Or sunny-side-up eggs over top. I like it made into cinnamon toast, or broiled with butter and then lots of juicy jams or preserves slathered over the top. I also used to toast it a lot and add peanut butter and fluff and make these humongous and very delicious sandwiches.

Home made bread is simply heavenly. The smells of baking bread wafting through the house are so wonderful. I have to admit to being quite a bit of a “smell” person. I love beautiful smells. (Keep me away from anything stinky though!!!!) This Cheese ‘N Onion Bread smells divine while baking and it tastes just as great.

Cheese ‘N Onion Bread is quite dense in texture so you can do a lot with it other than just eating it plain. Consider placing slices of bread on a large cookie sheet and spreading the pieces with sliced or shredded cheese and herbs like parsley, minced garlic, chives, dill weed, or thyme, and toasting in your oven for a few minutes. Yummy!

You can also spoon some leftover spaghetti sauce over top and then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for about 5-10 minutes. This is a great bread to have fun with.

We love this lip-smacking bread and believe you will, too. Why don’t you give this easy breadmaker bread recipe a try sometime. You will need a 2-lb. loaf pan breadmaker to make this recipe. Enjoy!

When I initially posted this recipe in February 2013, it was before I purchased my better Canon camera. The pictures were taken on a poor quality iPhone 3 or 4 so they were dark, grainy and definitely not as pleasing to the eye as I would have liked.

I recently remade this recipe for a luncheon I was hostessing at our church (February 2015). I remade this tasty dinner bread and it was a hit. Every slice was scooped up quickly, but not before I got a few new pictures. 🙂

Each two-pound bread loaf of Cheese ‘n Onion Bread cuts up into about 15 slices. I can make a meal of homemade bread with butter and honey or jelly! Oh, my!

Measure out hot water and place in bread canister. Add powdered milk, sugar and salt.

Use only bread flour for making homemade bread. It has more gluten than regular flour so it raises easier. It is also UNBLEACHED so it won’t toughen as easily as bleached all-purpose flour will. Measure out flour and add to bread pan. Add dehydrated minced onions,  cheddar cheese and yeast.

NOTE: this recipe does not call for oil or shortening.

Allow bread to cool in pan about 15 minutes. Invert onto bread board. Butter the top and sides of the loaf so the crust doesn’t harden too much. Allow the bread to cool an additional 15 minutes before cutting in slices.

Equipment

  • 1 2-lb. loaf breadmaker
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush to brush bread with melted butter after baking
  • 1 electric knife preferred, or sharp bread knife to slice bread after baking

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups hot water
  • 3 tbsp. powdered milk
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 4 cups bread flour NOT all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tsp. Fleishmann's bread machine yeast preferred over other brands

Instructions
 

  • Measure ingredients in the order listed into bread pan.
  • Insert baking pan into oven chamber, twist to secure.
  • Close lid.
  • Select: Regular basic bread setting.
  • Bake until complete.
  • My breadmaker takes about 3 1/2 hours at this setting.
  • Remove bread from oven chamber.
  • Allow to cool on bread board about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove bread from bread pan.
  • (Make sure the paddle at the bottom does not stay in the loaf!)
  • Butter the top and sides of loaf to prevent crust from getting hard.
  • Allow to cool completely or at least 15 more minutes before slicing.
  • Makes about 15 slices.

Notes

NOTE: Please note that this recipe doesn't call for oil or shortening as the cheese has a high enough fat content from the cheese.
 
NOTE: Refrigerate bread after two days to prevent mold since it doesn't have any preservatives in the dough.
NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.

    Teresa, this looks beautifully delicious. I love homemade bread but never make it!

      Hey, this is breadmaker stuff. SOOOOO easy. It takes 3 minutes to throw all the ingredients in the pan and that’s it!!! You can do this, kiddo!

      Yes. One of these days I’m going to get around to making some gluten free stuff too.

    Homemade bread such as this is such a treat. I’ve never made bread before but am wishing I had some now. Already had dinner but now I’m hungry again. 🙂

      LOL! Homemade bread from scratch is even better. It has an even softer texture from hand kneading. But this is so quick and easy. I love to throw a loaf in the breadmaker for company or to give away especially when making meals for others. (I have to give most of it away or I’ll eat the whole thing!!!)

          Sorry, Rose. We have made this recipe so many times and never had a bit of problem with it. Sometimes it can be due to bad yeast.
