Serious Onion Rye Sourdough!

I am working on a new recipe for Onion Rye Sourdough that I have been calling Serious Onion Rye Sourdough because my hubby asked me to bake up some Onion Rye Sourdough, so I did, using a new technique, and it came out great….but…he claimed it wasn’t oniony enough. So he described in detail HOW much more oniony he wanted it and I increased the dried onion flakes, the granulated onion and I also chopped and carmelized up two large onions which I also added. Here are the results:

By the way, this Rye Sourdough was made using the Desem starter, I wanted to use the Danish Rye starter but it wasn’t fed and ready to go and the Desem starter was.

I also baked up one loaf in a regular bread pan for my son who doesn’t like crust (jeesh! Who wouldn’t like crust???).

Here is a picture of the crumb:

You can’t really see the chopped, caramelized onions…too bad. This bread is soooo good!

It stayed fresh for several days unlike the white sourdoughs (I had to hide it to keep it several days).

I only have one problem…hubby thought it could still use even more onion! So after two tries I am back to having to try again! Next time I will double (again)anything onion, and add lots more Caraway seeds. I wonder if they sell onion concentrate?? 🙂
