Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
Begin by measuring the ingredients carefully. For best results, place the ingredients in the bread machine pan in the exact order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. -
Select the Program:
Once your ingredients are in place, select the Basic/White cycle on your bread machine. This cycle is ideal for creating a perfectly soft and evenly cooked loaf. -
Choose the Crust Setting:
Choose the Medium crust color setting for a perfectly balanced crust—neither too light nor too dark. This will allow the bread to bake evenly while giving it that lovely golden-brown finish. -
Optional Delay Cycle:
If you’d like to have your bread ready at a specific time, you can use the Delay cycle feature on your bread machine. Simply set the timer for when you’d like the bread to be done, and the machine will take care of the rest. -
Baking and Cooling:
Once the bread has completed its baking cycle, remove it from the pan carefully and place it on a wire rack to cool. Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing to avoid any potential steam burns or uneven slicing. -
Serve:
Enjoy this fragrant, flavorful Black Pepper Onion Bread fresh out of the bread machine, or store it in an airtight container for a few days. It makes a perfect side for soups, stews, or as a standalone snack with butter.
Tips for Success:
- Fresh Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your yeast is fresh and not expired. Stale yeast can cause the bread to rise improperly.
- Customizing Flavors: If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add more black pepper or even experiment with other spices like onion powder or dried herbs.
- Storing: This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing slices and toasting them when you’re ready to eat.
