Onion and Poppy Seed Quick Bread Recipe
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon), plus more for coating the pan
- 3 cups medium-dice yellow onion (from about 2 medium onions)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the bottom.
- Coat a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter; set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the measured butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat until foaming.
- Add the onion, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper to taste.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has turned golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Stir in 4 teaspoons of the poppy seeds, remove the pan from the heat, and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt together in a large bowl until aerated and any large lumps are broken up; set aside.
- Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon for drizzling on top of the bread.
- Place the remaining 5 tablespoons in a medium bowl and add the milk, egg, and reserved onionpoppy seed mixture.
- Whisk until the egg is broken up and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
- The batter will be very thick.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top.
- Drizzle the reserved butter over the top of the bread.
- Evenly sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
- Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
- Run a knife around the perimeter of the bread and turn it out onto the rack.
- Let it cool at least 30 minutes more before slicing.
