Onion Garlic Bread

Into the bread machine, in this order:
1½ tsp active dry yeast
2    cups whole wheat flour
2    cups white flour
2 TBSP white sugar
2 TBSP dry milk powder
2 TBSP butter
1¼ tsp salt

1⅓ cups water, lukewarm.
Set the bread machine on “dough” setting.

While the bread machine is producing dough for you, sauté and set aside:
2   large onions, sliced
6   cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped


Sauté these in 1 TBSP of  olive oil plus 1 TBSP butter.
When they're light brown, add
2 TBSP brown sugar


and sauté until they're dark brown. Set aside to cool.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

When the dough is done, roll it out on a floured board, until it's about 12" x 20". Spread with:
2 TBSP butter, melted
all of the onion/garlic mixture, and
½ cup Parmesan cheese.

Roll up the dough like a cinnamon roll, resulting in a roll that's 12" x maybe 4" diameter. I like to slice the top artistically and brush with:
1   egg, beaten (you'll probably not use more than half of that).

Bake at 350 for 35 or 40 minutes until the inside is completely cooked. Cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm, not hot. We sliced it thin and served it alongside barbecued steak.

This produces a hearty bread, slightly sweet. It's more filling than I expected.
