Cheesy Onion Butter Bread

1Preparation 1. In a bowl, mix the warm water (1 cup), sugar (1 tablespoon), and instant yeast (1). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter (2 tablespoons) and sauté the sliced onions until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside to cool.

3Making the Dough 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt (1 teaspoon). Add the foamy yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

4Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

5Adding the Flavors 5. Flatten the dough into a rectangle. Spread the remaining butter (2 tablespoons) over the surface. Scatter the caramelized onions and shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup) evenly.

6Roll up the dough tightly, then tuck the ends under to seal the filling inside.

7Baking 7. Place the dough seam side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.

8Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

9Final Touch 9. Once baked, brush the top of the bread with melted butter (2 tablespoons) for a glossy finish.
