No Knead Caramelized 🧅 Onion Bread

2 medium size onions (Caramelized)

2 Tbs avocado oil 

3 cups bread flour

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp instant yeast

2 Tbs erythritol (optional)

1 1/4 cup room temp water

1️⃣

Julienne onion 🧅 and, on a preheated pan, add 2 Tbs of avocado oil then sauté onions until brown. Set aside. 

2️⃣

In a large bowl combine 3 cups of bread flour, yeast, and salt.  Stir salt first then yeast to combine well. Add caramelized onion and water.  Combine well until you don’t see the flour underneath of the dough. 

3️⃣

Cover bowl with plastic wrap tightly so that inside air can’t escape.  Rest for at least 8 - 12 hours at warm room temperatures. (Mine was 8 hours)

4️⃣

When the dough is ready the surface is dotted with bubbles and the size of the dough has increased to double its original size.

5️⃣

Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it.  Fold a few times and set aside for 10 min. 

6️⃣

Preheat the oven to 450F way before you are folding the dough.  Put the cast iron pot in the oven as it heats and let it warm for 30 minutes. 

💡No cast iron - it’s totally ok to bake your bread on a cooking pan. Spray oil on the surface then put the dough on top then bake it for 30 min. 

7️⃣

When the cast iron pot is ready and the oven is heated, put the dough on top of the parchment paper and gently put it into the cast iron.  Cover with a lid and bake for 30 minutes then remove the lid and bake another 15 min until the loaf is beautifully browned.  Cool on a rack and enjoy!

🙀PS: If you want to have OMG flavor - make sure to add 2 Tbs of sugar or erythritol. It will make your bread flavor over the top!
