Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, sauté the finely chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir in the sautéed onions and 1 cup of shredded cheese until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the gluten-free cheesy onion bread and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade bread!
Tips
- Choose a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Make sure to caramelize the onions slowly to develop a rich, sweet flavor that will permeate the entire loaf.
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense bread.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness, ensuring it comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the batter.
- Store the bread in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore its crispy exterior.
