This bread is absolutely delicious. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because there is no info about how to carmelize onions - and some beginners may not be familiar with that process! The onions need to be cooked at medium-high heat for ten minutes before reducing heat to medium. Continue to cook the onions for another 15-20 minutes until they are brown, sticky and delicious... Add them to this wonderful and easy bread recipe and enjoy!

I ran out of time on Thanksgiving and my yeast rolls weren't going to happen. I stumbled upon this recipe just googling what I could make for a quicker option with what I had on hand. THIS IS CRAZY DELICIOUS BREAD THAT STOLE THE SHOW. I didn't change or tweak anything and it pairs really nice with more savory as well as slightly sweeter foods. I think it would be a great addition to a cheese plate as well.

Absolutely loved this bread! Very nice crusty bread that will go great with so many different dishes. I know it's early in the year, but this is the first recipe going into my Favorites of 2010 cookbook!
