Zwiebelkuchen - Onion Cake

"Zwiebelkuchen is slightly different depending upon the area of the country you're in, but all of them are absolutely tasty. This recipe is courtesy of the Prussian, Pomeranian and Westphalian immigrants who settled in the great Midwest of North America. From the Wisconsin Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. If you like, make the dough in your bread machine."
