Onion-Garlic Bread(Home Baked)
A savory, buttery bread infused with onions and garlic, perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a flavorful side to soups and salads.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Divide the thawed bread dough into 24 pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine chopped onions, melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley flakes, and salt to create the mixture.
- Dip each piece of dough into the onion-garlic mixture, ensuring they are coated.
- Place the coated dough pieces in a 10-inch tube pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve warm, optionally with additional butter.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, try adding some grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese to the onion-garlic mixture before coating the dough. You can substitute fresh garlic for garlic powder if needed, using about 1/4 teaspoon per clove. If you prefer whole wheat bread, consider using a whole wheat frozen bread dough. Remember to adjust the baking time if using larger or smaller pieces of dough.
Serving Suggestions
This onion-garlic bread pairs beautifully with soups or stews and makes a great appetizer for gatherings. Serve it warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a fresh salad. For an interesting twist, serve it as a side to the Low Cholesterol Ranch Quiche Lorraine for a delightful brunch experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh bread dough instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh homemade bread dough if you prefer. Just ensure it has been properly kneaded and allowed to rise before dividing it into pieces for coating with the onion-garlic mixture.
What can I substitute for butter?
If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute melted coconut oil or olive oil for the butter. Alternatively, use a dairy-free margarine for a vegan option while still maintaining a rich flavor.
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when it turns a golden brown color and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean if inserted into the center of the bread.
