Savory Onion and Egg Bread

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder (1 tablespoon), salt (1 teaspoon), pepper, and sugar (1 teaspoon). Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg (1 large) and water (1 cup) until well combined.

4Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

5In a skillet, heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

6Fold the sautéed onions into the bread batter until evenly distributed.

7Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
