Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the bread flour with all-purpose flour. If you want to enhance the onion flavor, consider sautéing the minced onion before adding it to the dough. Additionally, for a hint of sweetness, you could replace the molasses with honey or agave syrup. Always check your bread machine's manual for the correct order of ingredients, as it can vary by model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of flour in this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with different flours. For example, replacing some of the whole wheat flour with spelt or oat flour can add unique flavors. Just keep in mind that the texture may change, so you might need to adjust the liquid accordingly.
What should I do if my bread machine doesn't have a light crust setting?
