Ingredients
- • all-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • instant yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • ground beef: 1 pound
- • onion, thinly sliced: 1 large
- • unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons
- • shredded cheddar cheese: 1 1/2 cups
- • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • egg, beaten (for egg wash): 1
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 3 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- 4 Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 5 In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 2 minutes until well combined.
- 6 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cooked beef evenly over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions and shredded cheddar cheese.
- 7 Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams to seal. Place the log seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the loaf with the beaten egg.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this savory meaty swirl bread warm, allowing the cheese to ooze deliciously with each slice. It pairs beautifully with a side of tangy coleslaw or a fresh garden salad, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the bread. For a complete indulgent meal, consider serving it alongside a hearty tomato soup or a creamy potato soup. When it comes to beverages, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a dark stout beer complements the savory elements of the bread perfectly. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, a sparkling lemonade or a spiced tea would also be delightful choices.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the bread by wrapping it in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer-safe bag. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the bread at room temperature if frozen, and then warm slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. This will help restore the bread's original texture and flavor.
