Onion Bread

I just made this bread and the smell is heavenly! My questions have been answered by all of you! thanks!Of couse since I made it w/ 2 large purple onions and the full amount of nama(I used Braggs), I will have onion breath for days and suffer the too much salt problem. i'll look forward to next week's modifications!

Here is a little tip when making this to keep it from becoming "The Crying Bread".

In your work area light a candle or two, try not to burn yourself, but put it close to wherever the onion mixture is, and the candles will absorb some of onion's aroma and help prevent you from crying. It will not completely stop it but it will prevent most of the tears that onions cause when you peel and cut them up.

If you have a gas stove you can also set up your work area next to that and turn on a burner on and this will help also.

It's an old wives trick but it works fairly well.

It makes a huge difference to use sweet onions. Totally different experience. So very yummy!

I am new to raw and I decided to use this recipe as my first. I had it on the trays last night and WOW did it smell good in the house this morning. It is a very easy recipe and DELISH with avocado slices or tomatoes!!!!!!

I made this bread. YUM! It does taste like one of those fried onions... I only wish there was a recipe for that dipping sauce..

I just made my first bread in my new dehydrator using this recipe. It was incredible. I will never eat dead bread again. I took some out this morning before it was completely dried and the chewy onions were divine. You have to make this bread.

I just got my excaliber in the mail and this was my first dehydrated raw recipe! I love that it´s really easy to make and doesn´t use many ingredients. Whoo, it´s really oniony though, I suppose it´s a good thing I like onions. I only used one and a half, but they were really big. I can see this recipe as having many many possibilities!

Just tried this, most every comment was correct.

This moves to the top of the list . . . GREAT

Next time however I will CUT the Bragg's in HALF . . .

I love this recipe though it drives my wife crazy since my entire home smells like onions for two days.

Surprisingly though I ate at Euphoria Loves Rawvolution in Santa Monica (Matt Amsden's place) the other day and had the famous Big Matt with Cheese and the Onion bread they use is nothing like this recipe at all. I think they liquefied the onions quite a bit and changed around the ingredients some. Personally I like the recipe posted here better since the restaurants were kinda bland.

It might help to call it Bragg Liquid Aminos...an all purpose seasoning from soy protein. Bragg also makes an apple cider vinegar. You might google "Paul Bragg" to find out more about this remarkable man.

This tasted like that "bloomin' onion" at Outback Steakhouse! Fantastic! I was snatching off pieces from inside the dehydrator before it was even done.....

briansculpt: Braggs is apple cider vinegar, and Nama Shoyu is unpasteurized soy sauce (it has wheat in it). Tamari is soy sauce with no wheat.

This is definately a "show off to your non-raw friends" recipe. Mine came out like fried, crispy hashbrowns. Very good.

What is a good substitute in recipes for nama shoyu/tamari/Braggs? These condiments give me a splitting headache and other wierd side effects, and I need to find a healthier alternative to use in my recipes. Will a pinch of salt or miso work instead? Or maybe dulse flakes?

can someone please tell an ignorant Aussie what Braggs or Nama Shoyu actually are???

This bread is amazing! I omitted the braggs and added a little cumin. I had to eat two pieces. I left it somewhat thick so I could use it for veggie-burgers this week. I have a circular dehydrator which wasn't a problem. I usually just shape all my bread into round slices and it spreads much more even when it has a tad more water in the mix. Thanks for this great recipe!

Now this is why I am so happy I have a dehydrator! Thanks Kandace, you have won me some new friends!

Yummy... I almost took a bit out of my monitor. I'll have to wait for a few weeks until I have access to a dehydrator. Meantime this is on my list of must try. Thanks Kandace.

I have this bread drying now. If anyone has problems with it crumbling, add water little by liitle. I promise it will work, I had consistency issues, as this was my fisrt time using this recipe. I've made seed bread before that doesn't call for ground flax and sunflower seeds. The bread spreads easier with gound seeds and I'm certain will be easier to chew. I can't wait to make this again. I want to vary the recipe next time, maybe add some herbs.

Made my first batch last night with two onions chopped in the food processor. Had a sandwich with avocado for dinner. It was heavenly. Tonight I'm making a sweet bread using agave nectar (1/4 cup), cinnamon and some ginger. Hope it's good.

Just threw mine together, and for the second batch I layered tomato with basil and garlic on the bottom then squished the onion batter on the top. Hopefully it comes out the way I planned, but even now it smells fantastic in my house! Thanks for the recipe!

Made this bread and it was divine! I used sea salt instead of nama shoyu. Also, it worked better for me to dice the onion by hand. This was my first raw bread/cracker. It actually tasted like the real thing, better even!

Greenie,

I've just made it again and used 2 1/2 cups onion. The difference this time is that I diced them rather than sliced them. I chopped them by hand to a fine dice and I think this is going to work out better.

I think the next time I do it, I'll mandoline the onions; they came out too thick from the Cuisinart. And I'll add them to the batter gradually so they really mix in.

I'm new to this site and just loving reading the recipes. Probably not the best thing to do during a fast!
