A delightful cheesy onion herb bread perfect for gatherings or as a comforting snack.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a loaf pan with baking paper.
Ensure the baking paper covers the sides for easy removal of the bread.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt.
Sifting the flour can help achieve a lighter texture.
Add the butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
Whisk together the egg, milk, and mustard in a separate bowl.
Ensure the mustard is well mixed for even flavor distribution.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Divide it into 14 uneven pieces.
Light kneading ensures the bread remains soft.
Layer half the dough pieces in the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with half the caramelized onions, cheese, and parsley.
Distribute the filling evenly for consistent flavor.
Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
Press gently to compact the layers slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
Check doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean.
Let the bread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Serve with a side of butter or a dip for added flavor.
