THESSALONICA ONION BREAD 
1 c. warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 - 3 c. flour
1 tbsp. dry yeast
1/4 c. oil
1 c. chopped onions

Sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand 2-3 minutes. Stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons oil and flour. Beat until blended. Add enough extra flour so dough will clean sides of bowl and make a ball. Turn onto floured board and knead 10 minutes.

Place in greased bowl. Cover with cloth and let raise until double. Punch down and divide in half. Place in 2 greased bread pans.

Divide onions in half and press lightly into dough covering top. Let raise uncovered until double. Sprinkle on remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven about 25 minutes or until it sounds hollow. Remove from pans. Makes 2 loaves.
