Cajun Onion Bread
Disney Institute
12 servings


1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups water
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup onions, medium; diced small
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Cajun spice (can be purchased from good supermarket)


Combine the sugar, yeast, and water in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the
yeast. Stir in the flour, a little at a time.

Mix in the salt then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Let the dough rise in a warm area until doubled in size.

While the dough is rising, heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add a small amount of oil, let it get hot. Add the onions and cook
for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. When the onions have started to
'sweat', add about 1 tablespoon sugar and continue to cook, scraping the
bottom of the pan as needed. Cook until the onions are nice and brown. Drain
and set aside.

Oil a jelly roll pan, punch down the dough, and spread in the pan evenly.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and allow to rise until doubled in
size.


Sprinkle some Kosher salt on top of the dough. Bake at 400 degrees F. for
about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle onions on top. Bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown.
