Description

This Sweet Onion-Almond Bread is a unique twist on traditional quick breads, combining the savory sweetness of caramelized onions with the nutty depth of almonds and almond extract. The result is a tender, moist loaf with a beautiful golden crust and a complex flavor profile that bridges the gap between savory and sweet. It features a soft crumb studded with crunchy almond slices and soft onion pieces, making every bite interesting. Perfect for brunch, holiday gatherings, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to cheese boards and soups. This recipe requires no yeast, making it a quick and easy treat that delivers impressive results with pantry staples. Serve it warm with a pat of butter for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease an 8x5 inch loaf pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup of the melted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped sweet onions and saut until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Add the cooked onions and sliced almonds to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, remaining 1/4 cup melted butter, and almond extract until smooth.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
