Onion bread is a fragrant and tender dish of European cuisine, rooted in the traditions of rustic bread baking. Its exquisite taste comes from the combination of the sweetness of caramelized onions and the softness of airy dough. Onion, being the main ingredient, gives the bread a rich aroma and a slight spiciness. This bread can be served with soups, meat dishes, or simply enjoyed fresh with a piece of butter. It is perfect for cozy home evenings as well as festive gatherings. The toasted crust adds a pleasant crunch while the tender crumb makes each bite special. Onion bread is not just baked goods but a true gastronomic delight that combines simplicity of ingredients with richness of flavors.
