CHEESE & ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a fan oven to 200 degrees celsius. Line a baking tray with tin foil and lightly sprinkle with flour.
• Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cheese, and onion in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk and sunflower oil.
• In small quantities, gradually add the wet mixture to the dry until a sticky dough is formed. Careful - you may not need to use all of the wet mixture!
• On a floured surface, roughly shape the dough into a flattened ball and place on the prepared baking tray. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked. The crust should be golden brown and starting to darken. A knife should come out clean when placed into the bread.
• Enjoy warm, straight out of the oven or when cooled.

QUICK AND EASY ONION BEER BREAD

• Gradually pour in the beer, stirring with a fork until just blended and beer is incorporated.
• Grease the bottom of a 9"x5" loaf pan and spread the dough in the pan.
• Chop the additional green onion and sprinkle evenly over the surface of bread dough for topping (you can substitute chopped thinly sliced yellow onion for this, if you like).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the middle.
• Remove bread from oven; combine the Parmesan and grated cheddar, and sprinkle it over the top of the still-hot loaf.
• Let the bread stand in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn out and let cool for another 5 or so minutes before slicing and/or serving.
• You can make this bread ahead of time- if you're going to serve it later, wrap it in foil and at the time of serving re-heat it in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes; it's really very tasty the day after it's prepared, so you might consider making it a day ahead of when you want to serve it.

ONION AND BUTTERMILK QUICK BREAD

• Preheat oven to 180 deg C, 350 deg F, Gas mark 4.

• Place balls onto a floured baking tray. Allow room for each to rise. Sift a little flour over the top and make a slash, with a sharp knife, across each loaf.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
