directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat saute the onions, garlic and bay leaf for about 25 minutes. The onions will turn a deep golden color.
  • Cool the onion mixture slightly, discard the bay leaf, and puree the onions in a blender.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the caraway seeds.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk the buttermilk and yogurt in a small bowl. Add the buttermilk, yogurt and onions to the flour. Stir together only until mixed. DO NOT overstir.
  • Turn dough out on a lightly floured board and knead until dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a 6-inch diameter by 2 1/2-inch-high round.
  • Place dough on the baking sheet. If desired, using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross design in the top center of dough.
  • Dust the top of the dough with a light dusting of flour.
  • Bake the bread for approximately 55 minutes or until light brown and crusty on the outside. The loaf is baked thoroughly when you hear a "hollow" sound when tapped on top of the loaf.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool.

  1. I have made this recipe twice, and it is a lot of work, but sooooo worth it. I used red onions and the flavor was amazing. I can't say enough about this bread.
