Did someone say Onion Oregano Italian Bread? You bet I did! This bread is super flavorful, with a lovely crust, and not at all difficult to make. Let me show you how!
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2011. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
ONION OREGANO Italian BREAD {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
½ cup crushed French fried onions
3 tablespoons dried, minced onions
2 packages of active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1-½ teaspoons dried oregano
2 cups warm water (120-130 degrees)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons cornmeal (optional)
-In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of flour, onions, yeast, sugar, salt, and oregano.
-Add in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
-Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
-After the first rise, punch the dough down and divide it in half. Roll each portion into a 14x6 inch rectangle.
-Roll the dough, jelly-roll style, starting with the long side.
-Place each dough, seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet that has been sprinkled with a light dusting of cornmeal.
-Take a moment to reshape your dough, if needed, making sure it looks nice and pretty.
-Allow your loaves to rise one last time for approximately 1 additional hour.
-About halfway through this rise, remove your dough and gently make some cross cuts into the top with a sharp paring knife (if desired), and replace your dough back into the warmed oven for the last half hour of rising time.
-Bake your loaves in a preheated 375-degree oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped with your finger.

So lovely to see such wonderful comments. I know you'll love this bread as much as we did! It only takes a little time because of the risings but the effort is minimum as far as the effort! Good pay off!

We have a le Bus bakery near my work and I have been indulging WAY too much on carbs....but my goodness your post makes me want to try making bread again 🙂 Great job and gorgeous tiles. Hey-maybe you can get "permission" to make a tile with the FF artwork ? Folks would LOVE that ----

Hi Michell @ Girl In Air :
I really appreciate the time you took to look at my site. Thank you.
Due to the individualized nature of my blog tiles, I take orders via emails only. What I ask people to do is email me a picture of the design they'd like recreated on a tile, or I can design one for you via your descriptions and ideas. I do not at this time have an etsy store for blog tiles but I do however have a few generic designs on artfire.com Frames and boxes are also something new I'm offering for my tiles so they really do make wondeful and totally unique items. Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment 🙂 Also, please tell your friends about me and my tiles. I'd be ever so grateful!

Thank you all for the lovely comments. I really do hope you'll try this bread because it's one of the best I've made. My husband and son are still talking about how good it is. We finished off the second loaf last night 🙂 I'm sure it will freeze beautifully too.
Michell @ Girl In Air says
That is soo cute! So do you have an Etsy shop to order tiles?
I think there are a lot of blogs that would LOVE to have their button on a tile...Great idea!

I am a little intimidated by bread, but this looks VERY good. I painted on a cookie last night. ALWAYS makes me think of you!
Cher says
Love the loaves & the tile! I am not sure why I never think to make baguettes when I make bread on the weekends. I definitely need a kick in the seat!
Oh - and make the goat cheese cake 🙂
Paula says
