Today I made this bread but with fried onion (150 gram)
I must say it was delicious!
I put the onion in the 2nd knead!
Wonderful

Thanks for the idea of using the fried onions Isi. I had to buy some for an Indian recipe & could only get a rather large bag so have been sprinkling them over salads & anything else I thought of. Made this recipe, split the dough in 2 and made one small cob like loaf with the fried onions & 1 small plain loaf as my boys love this bread for sandwiches or toast. I can't believe how much bread I have attempted since getting the TMX ( & more to the point- since Isi inspired me)

So we are not talking ordinary freshly fried onions here or caramelised onions even?  Do like the sound of this one though.
Sounds like a winner VHJ and yes, isi has inspired us all with our breadmaking efforts. Lots of us needed a kick up the you know where to get us moving and in the end it was all those lovely photos that did the trick.

I am very flattered to  been the starter for some members in this area ;)!
These days it is essential to take advantage as much as possible of our abilities!
There is a supermarket nearby which sells a Mini Olive Rolls to 29 cents each - criminals :(!
With some imagination we can make a giant Olive bread almost the same value ......

I made this today as a loaf, as per JulieO's post, and mine didn't rise much :( 

I used 2t yeast for the 500g of flour.  Could it be because I rolled the dough a bit to get the right shape before putting it in the oven?  I am a bread novice  :-[.

ETA- even though it didn't rise as much as I expected, it tastes so good hot out of the oven  :-*

Can you check if the yeast is active Caroline?

Maybe leave it to rise a bit longer the second time otherwise.

I haven't had an issue since I've been using fresh yeast.  :-\
