--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          Dough:
    3 1/2           cups  warm water
    2        tablespoons  instant yeast
    2        tablespoons  sugar
    2 1/2      teaspoons  salt
       1/4           cup  vegetable oil
    5               cups  bread flour -- to 6C
                          Filling:
    2        tablespoons  vegetable oil
    1 1/2         pounds  Vidalia onions -- diced, or other sweet 
white onions (4C)
       1/4      teaspoon  salt
    1         tablespoon  poppy seeds
    1                     egg -- lightly beaten
                          nonstick cooking spray -- or butter-flavored

Bread and onions are a good combination of flavors. This onion bread, 
baked in a round pan, is chock-full of onions, fragrances, and good 
looks. A wedge of this loaf with Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, and 
pastrami or smoked turkey is heavenly.

Spray a 9-10" springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line a 
baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

For the dough, hand whisk the water and yeast together in the bowl of 
an electric mixer and let stand for 2-3 min. to dissolve the 
yeast.  Stir in the sugar, salt, egg, oil, and 5C of the flour. Mix 
to make a soft mass. Knead with the dough hook on the lowest speed of 
the mixer for 8-10 min, gradually adding more flour as required to 
form an elastic dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured 
surface and form it into a ball. Place the dough in a lightly greased 
bowl. Place the bowl in a lg plastic bag, close the bag loosely, and 
let the dough rise for 30-45 min, or until almost double.

Meanwhile, make the filling. In a sm saucepan, heat the oil over low 
heat and saute the onions for 3-5 min, or until soft. Transfer the 
onions to a bowl and toss with the salt and poppy seeds. Set aside.

Gently deflate the dough. Turnout onto a lighty floured surface and 
roll out into a round about 12" in diameter. Let the dough rest for 
1-3 min or until it retracts as you are doing this. Press the onions 
into the dough. Fold the dough in half to cover the onions. Cut it 
with a sharp knife into 16 equal hunks.  Arrnge the dough pieces in 
the prepared pan. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Return the pan 
to the lg plastic bag, close the bag loosely, and let rise for 30-45 
min, or until almost doubled in bulk.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the pan on the prepared baking sheet 
and bake for 40-45 in, or until well browned. Let cool in the pan on 
a wire rack for 10 min before removing the sides of the pan.
