-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package active dry yeast
2 cups warm water -- (about 110F)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour -- to 6C
3/4 cup instant minced onion
water
1 egg yolk -- beaten with
1 tablespoon water
The "little" breads, normally baked in single serving size, are
perfect for the home baker, as are breads with out-of-the-ordinary
flavors. One such bread recipe, perfect for accompanying red beans &
rice or a bowl of steaming gumbo, is called onion boards for their
board-like shape. Strewn with rehydrated minced onion, their rich
oniony flavor compliments many soups, stews, and gumbos perfectly. It
doesn't hurt that they are relatively simple to make, shape and bake either!
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar,
salt and about 2C of flour. Beat in 2-3C more flour to make a stiff
dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until smooth and satiny,
about 5-20 min, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Turn
dough over in clean, greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place
untl doubled, about 1 1/2 hrs.
2. Punch dough down and knead briefly on a lightly floured board to
release air. Divide into 6 equal parts, cover lightly and let rest
for 10 min. Meanwhile, soak onion in enough water to cover for 5-10
min. Drain and squeeze out excess moisture and set aside.
3. On a lightly floured board, roll and stretch each portion of
dough into a rectangle about 7"x11", with edges slightly thicker than
centers. Lightly brush with egg yolk & water mixture, and then
transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Distribute onion evenly over top.
4. Bake 1 or 2 at a time in a 375F. oven for 20-25 min or until
golden brown. Let cool on racks. Uncooked boards can stand uncovered
as necessary until placed in oven.
Makes 6 boards, each board serves 4.
