ONION LOVER'S TWIST BREAD



Onion Lover's Twist Bread image

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.

Tips:

  • To make the dough easier to handle, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
  • To make the sesame paste, simply combine sesame seeds, sugar, and oil in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the sesame paste by grinding the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle.
  • To shape the bread, simply roll out the dough into a long rectangle, spread the sesame paste over the dough, then roll it up tightly.
  • Before baking, brush the bread with an egg wash to give it a golden brown color.
  • Sesame twist bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
