Breadmaker Sage & Onion Bread

by Debs Cook

I don't have time these days to make bread from scratch but I do make bread using my breadmaker. The recipe that follows is for a breadmaker but it can be adapted for making the bread by hand. I use dried minced onion in this bread, as fresh onion has a tendency to make the bread go soggy. The dried onion gives a wonderful flavour and the aromatic touch of sage turns this bread into something special. Use in sandwiches and to make a tasty beans on toast. Leftovers can be used to make stuffing.This recipe originally featured in the Herb of The Month article of mine on Sage.

Ingredients

1¼ cups (285 ml) cold water
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1½ Tsp Salt
6 Tbsp dried minced onion
2 Tsp dried sage
3 Cups (450g) strong white bread flour
1½ Tsp easy bake yeast

Method

Put the ingredients into the bread maker pan in the order specified for your particular model (see your manufacturer's handbook).
Set to the basic white program.
Once cooked carefully shake the loaf from the bucket and stand the right way up on a wire cooling rack.
