Onion Bread...Fabulous!

[SimplyRawesome]

Thanks Sharon and Pansy. I definitely plan to try this recipe, just didn't realize that 3 onions would equal 3 pounds! Sharon, you must have some big onions!! LOL. I need to go buy a bag tomorrow.

I didn't make these according to the recipe but talk about goooood!!! Oh man!

When I got ready to make these last night, I realized I didn't have THAT many onions. I had about 1.5 pounds of onion. So, I added 2 bell peppers and 2 ears raw corn (cut off I also threw in a few whole flax seed and a bit of agave nectar. Oh, also, I didn't have the nama so I used celtic sea salt.
(Maybe I should just post this as a different recipe!?)

I know what you mean about not eating it all at one sitting!! It reminds me a bit of my mom's turkey dressing. I tasted it and gave some to Terry after it had only dried a while. I wish I had his reaction on video to say thank you for posting this!!

The onion bread sounds delish, but I generally have a problem with eating raw onions. They are too strong for me and cause heartburn and pain. Does dehydrating them take the edge off? I've never had a problem with cooked onions. But for whatever reason raw garlic and onion hurts me every single time. Thanks in advance for any response :)

I have the onion bread "baking" now in the dehydrator! Boy does it smell good and when I tasted the "dough" for it last night after mixing it, it was good.

ApexPhode, yes, dehydrated onions does take the edge off. Even marinating them in say, olive oil and sea salt or Nama will take the edge off as well. So, anytime you want onions on/with something, try putting them in a marinade first and either allow them to sit for an hour or longer or put them in the oil and then dehydrate for a more "cooked" taste.

Yes, Nutrimom they were very large onions. They were the kind that looked like very large flying saucers as they were flat. 3 of them weighed between 2 1/2 and 3 pounds all together.

AphexPhode - the onions used are the sweet variety which lessen the harshness, also the dehydrating mellows the flavor. You can soak them for a while too, after you slice them in half.

According to Natural Hygiene laws, onions and garlic are off limits because they cause weird brain activity & nightmares and you wouldn't feed them to a young child or eat them alone as a meal. I find it difficult to give up such things.

Mmmmmm... Deb, this sounds good too! Thanks for the "alternate" recipe! I'll try both! ;)

I'm new at this dehydrating thing, so any particular temp on the dehydrator? I know it's supposed to be under 112° but does it matter at what temp?

[Rawkinlocs]

Okay, I tasted my onion bread and it's good! I really like it. Good flavor. It's still not quite "cracker-crunchy" but it's solid enough to eat and I'll leave it in there longer because I'd like it as crisp as it can get.

Nutrimom, I had my dehydrator set on 105 degrees...but anything under (what is it...110 or so?) should be good.

I will be making this within the next week. Thanks for sharing a good sounding recipe. Of course I have never seen a bad recipe on this site lol

Hi All,

If you have an excalibur dehydrator, you can set the temp. at 145 degrees for 1-2 hours, then back down to 105 degrees.

Sorry for not mentioning that earlier.

Have fun!

Sharon in Colorado,

Thanks for the tip of using Braggs & Celtic Sea Salt. I have both of them. I've never used the Braggs before. I understand it's not raw, but for what little goes in, I think I'll try this recipe, as soon as I pick up some new sun flower seeds (I already dehydrated my sunflower seeds for a quick snack). Can I grind them up even though they have been dehydrated?

You're welcome Helen. I thought I might as well use what is left of the Bragg's I have. I know there is quite a bit of controversy about it.

I guess for that matter most of the recipe is questionable. It's better than a cooked bread, but how 'raw' is the whole recipe, really.

Don't see why you cannot grind up the sunflower seeds.

Hi Sharon of Colorado,

I'm glad you said that! Everything in it was raw except the braggs (or so I thought) but then I saw the olive oil. It's not raw either. Rats. I'll probably pass this recipe up. I don't mind a "little" something mixed in a batch of all raw, but not 2-somethings.

Okay Pansy, I am LOVIN' this onion bread!!

I just had the BEST sandwich I've ever had since going raw. I had two "slices" of the bread, a nut meat recipe, sliced tomato, bell pepper and lettuce. It was SO good. My little 2 year old loved it too (he's the only one who would try it). The bread was left in the dehydrator and tastes even better today than it did yesterday.

I'm in love! Definitely a new staple of mine as I'll be making more today! Thank you and your friend for sharing this recipe

[Pansy]

Hi Rawkinlocs,

See I told you that it was addictive...I just love it too. Your sandwich sounds great...I am going to try that! That is so cute that your 2 yr. old likes it...now that says something...he is a smart boy like his mama!
I make it at least once a week..it just don't last long between my husband and me. (also when I have to pass some out to my sister and mom)

So glad you all enjoyed it!

Have a great day!

Pansy
