Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 large Onion
• 2 tablespoon Butter
• 1 cup Swiss cheese
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 beaten Egg

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onions. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with Swiss cheese and fresh thyme.
6. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Brush the top of the bread with beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
