   1           teaspoon  baking powder
      1/4      teaspoon  baking soda
      1/2           cup  heavy cream

Bake this bread in a cast-iron skillet to achieve a supremely crispy 
crust and rustic effect. Cut the loaf into triangles and serve it hot 
out of the oven.

Active: 35 mins
Total: 1:30

Place 1/2 cup of the butter in freezer until solid, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add caraway 
seeds, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, about 1 
minute. Remove seeds from skillet, and set aside.

Add oil to skillet, and heat over medium-high. Add onion, and cook, 
stirring often, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce 
heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and 
browned, about 15 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. 
Remove onions from skillet, and let cool 10 minutes.

Place a 9" cast-iron skillet in preheated oven. Stir together flours, 
baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and toasted 
caraway seeds in a medium bowl. Whisk together cream, egg, and honey 
in a separate bowl.

Remove butter from freezer. Using the large holes on a box grater, 
grate frozen butter into coarse shreds. Add shredded butter to flour 
mixture, stirring to combine. Add cream mixture, cheese, and 
caramelized onions to flour mixture; stir just until dough comes 
together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; pat into an 
8" circle. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to hot cast-iron 
skillet, swirling to melt. Gently place dough in skillet; sprinkle 
with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Bake bread in preheated oven until sides and top are golden brown, 20 
to 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool in skillet 5 minutes. 
Remove bread from skillet, and place on a wire rack to cool to room 
temperature, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme, if desired; serve 
with Whipped Sweet Potato Butter.
