My homemade morton's onion bread recipe will help you through your journey of cooking Morton’s bread and believe me you are going to love the process of making it. Your breakfast will turn into a feast after learning this recipe.
Egg wash (add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Bring a large mixing bowl and mix your dry yeast with warm water.
In the mixing bowl, dissolve your yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, 3 cups of flour, salt and sugar. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Mix the remaining 4 cups of flour to make a soft dough.
remove the dough onto a clean surface and knead it until elastic and soft, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Grab a pan and grease it with oil and place the dough and grease the top of the dough and cover it with wet cloth to rise it until its size doubled.
After rising enough, take the dough down and form a loaf shape you want, I suggest 2 and around.
Stir fry the onions in vegetable oil until transparent.
Egg wash the top of the dough and add the desired amount of onion you want. I have some left over so don’t use all the onions. Keep small amounts.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F then put the dough into the oven and turn the oven temperature into 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
After removing the bread from the oven, cool it on a rack and slice it depending on your desire.
Tips
The temperature here is very important, I suggest your water, juice, and milk is around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, the bread will be hard and dry.
Use only white onion because red onions have a strong flavor and it can give you bad breath. Mince it properly to mix in the bread properly.
Use fresh yeast to get the perfectly risen dough and it gives the texture of the bread.
Check the expiration date of all ingredients.
The temperature should be well monitored and don’t overcook it.
Don’t miss the egg wash, some people avoid it but the outer layer shines depending on it.
Grease the dough while resting it otherwise the inside of the dough will be dry.
