Soda Bread With Caramelized Onion And Caraway

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium onions, cut in half and sliced thinly
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 1/4 cups unbleached white flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, lightly crushed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (full fat, NOT non-fat)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat saute the onions, garlic and bay leaf for about 25 minutes. The onions will turn a deep golden color.
3. Cool the onion mixture slightly, discard the bay leaf, and puree the onions in a blender.
4. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
5. Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the caraway seeds.
6. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk the buttermilk and yogurt in a small bowl. Add the buttermilk, yogurt and onions to the flour. Stir together only until mixed. DO NOT overstir.
7. Turn dough out on a lightly floured board and knead until dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
8. Shape the dough into a 6-inch diameter by 2 1/2-inch-high round.
9. Place dough on the baking sheet. If desired, using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross design in the top center of dough.
10. Dust the top of the dough with a light dusting of flour.
11. Bake the bread for approximately 55 minutes or until light brown and crusty on the outside. The loaf is baked thoroughly when you hear a "hollow" sound when tapped on top of the loaf.
12. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
