Onion Bread w/out so much onion?

[sherahtaylor]

I LOVE onion bread but DH says I absolutely reek like onions when I eat it. He said normally he'd totally just tell me to eat it anyway since I'm pregnant & craving it and all :D but it's just really strong.

I've read a few threads where people have tried substituting other things - I am thinking maybe to put one onion in the mix to lessen the potency, then add in something else in place of the 2 additional onions - maybe peppers or zuccini? Has anyone ever tried it, and how did it turn out?

I really like the texture and consistency - it's great as crackers and bread, not to mention delicious with the flax, braggs, sunflowers seeds....yum. Any suggestions?

I only use one small onion and it's perfect for me. I also decrease the nama shoyu. I've tried adding sundried tomatoes and chopped fresh tomatoes. The sundried tomatoes came out too chewy. The fresh tomatoes were Ok...I don't think it's something I'd try again though. I still like the one small onion the best. I like them better when I chop them in the food processor, rather than slice them.

That worked wonders for me as well!

I was wondering about using celery pulp from my juicer instead of onion. i love the onion verion but it dont love me back LOL 'burp!'

Another one checking in who uses waaaay less onion!

Sure, you could use celery but then it wouldn't be "onion bread" anymore! ;)

[CaliRaw]

How would celery pulp dry? Do you think it would be difficult to chew? You may have to experiment. That's what I did. I made a quadruple or quintuple batch and added different things to each sheet.

Thank goodness I am finally onion breaded out ......he he

I'm on to the bread that you wrap the enchiladas in from Allissa's book with some modifications!

I am too. I froze my last batch. I'm looking for a substitute now. What kind of modifications did you make? It seems that a lot of cracker/bread recipes use a lot of flax. I don't like the texture/slime.

I use corn. :D

I just made the onion bread and I only put 2 onions in it. But I was sure disappointed. I can't stand it!! It's way too salty and whew the onion smell..........it's in the garbage (along with my stuffed mushrooms). not sure if I'd make it again.
Now I have to figure out what to have for dinner tonight......sighhh Seems like all my great menu ideas aren't working out so far....lol Thank goodness I'm still adventureous.......not like dh, just the usual "meat and potatoes please".

Yes, it's too salty for me when I use the full amount of nama shoyu that is in the recipe. I use no more than half nama shoyu and half water. I only like one small onion in it. When I had the Rawvolution Pizza Italiano it didn't taste quite as salty and I don't recall the mock tuna sandwich tasting salty to me at all.

I use corn. :D

Does the corn turn out hard/crunchy? How much do you use? I'd think that using sweet yellow corn would help balance out some of the saltiness.

Instead of onion, why not jicama, apple and/or zucchini? Same texture, yes?

Apple sounds like it would be delicious! I wonder how it would turn out if I chopped it to mush...not quite applesauce, but not super chunky either? I'd add some cinnamon.

I've taken the original recipe, only using two onions, finely chopped and added finely chopped broccoli. I spread this THICK on the teflex, like 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. It made a really good crunchy cracker. I dehydrated it for over 24 hours turning once in between.
