Syrian Onion Bread Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Linda2230 / All my dishes 8 months, 2 weeks ago Middle Eastern bread made with white flour and this Syrian version has a tasty, aromatic topping. The recipe did not call for chili flakes, but because I happen to like the hint of heat, I added it to my topping. I adapted this recipe from Martha D... More Prep:130m Cook:15m Servings:8	Linda2230

Ingredients

4 cups unbleached white bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 fresh yeast

scant 1/1/4 cups luke warm water

FOR TOPPING

4 tbls finely chopped onion

1 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp chopped fresh mint*

2 tbls olive oil

Salt to taste (optional)

1/8 chili flakes (optional)

*NOTE; If you do not have any fresh mint on hand, then add 1 tablespoon dried mint. Use the freeze-dried variety if you can as it has much more flavor.

Directions

Lightly flour 2 baking sheets. Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Cream the yeast with a little of the water, then mix in the remainder.

Add the yeast mixture to the center of the flour and mix to a firm dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and leave to rise, in a warm place, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divde into 8 equal pieces and roll into 5-6 inch rounds. Make them slightly concave. Prick all over and space well apart on the baking sheets. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the chopped onion, ground cumin, ground coriander and chopped mint in a bowl. Brush the breads with the olive oil for the topping, sprinkle them evenly with the spicy onion mixture and bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve Warm

Hi Judy - what a wonderful recipe to share! I love making and baking homemade bread and I cannot wait to try this. I plan to give it a try this weekend. Thank you again for your wonderful recipes. High 5 my dear - and a beauty flag for your lovely picture.

And I love your hint of heat. I find I add heat to almost everything I make. You are a woman after my own heart - indeed. :-) Vickie

This sounds so interesting! I've never had bread with mint on it! This would probably go great with Souvlaki and a yogurt dipping sauce!
