Onion Knot Bread Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle yeast over it. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Let Dough Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

   Prepare Onion Filling

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and translucent. Stir in chopped parsley, and let cool.

   Shape the Bread

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces. Flatten each piece, add a spoonful of the onion filling, and shape it into a knot.
