Ancient recipe. This is an involved yeast bread but it is beautiful and tasty! The filling could easily be herbs rather than onion. The paprika makes for a nice color in the filling but it could easily be omitted. Add more herbs though to absorb the butter.

Age-old family favorite. We make this every year around Christmas time....It lasts about a day in our house. This is a no knead yeast bread filled with buttery onions and seasonings, shaped in a braid. It was also the grand prize winner in the 1970 Pillsbury Bake-off.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Not all onions are created equal. For the best flavor and texture, use yellow or white onions for cooking and red onions for salads or pickling.
  • Caramelize Onions Slowly: Caramelizing onions takes time and patience. Cook them over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and sweet.
  • Use Onions in Sauces and Soups: Onions add flavor and depth to sauces and soups. Sauté them in a little oil or butter before adding them to the pot.
  • Roast Onions for a Sweet Treat: Roasting onions brings out their natural sweetness. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven until they are caramelized.
  • Pickle Onions for a Tangy Snack: Pickled onions are a great way to add a tangy flavor to sandwiches, salads, and tacos. Make your own pickled onions by combining vinegar, water, sugar, and spices in a jar with sliced onions.
  • Don't Overcook Onions: Overcooking onions can make them bitter and mushy. Cook them until they are softened but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use Onions as a Garnish: Finely chopped onions can be used as a garnish for a variety of dishes, such as soups, salads, and sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Onions are a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. By following these tips, you can make the most of this humble vegetable and create delicious meals that your family and friends will love.
