How to Make Savoury Onion and Cheese Bread (Step by Step)

Step 1 – Sauté the aromatics

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Add diced red onion and garlic. Cook until softened and lightly golden. Let cool.

Add the cooled onion-garlic mix to the flour mixture. Pour in wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined (dough should be soft).

Transfer dough to a greased loaf tin or baking tray. Press red onion slices into the surface and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
