Onion Bread...Fabulous!

[Sweet lips]

Pansy and the rest of you

;) Y'ALL HAVE STARTED SOMETHING WITH THIS ONION BREAD -MAN OH MAN - UMMM UMMM UMMM, THERE ARE JUST NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO EXPLAIN THIS EXPERIENCE.

I have a whole in the middle dehydrator and I put it on last night before bed based on a suggestion from Rawkinlocs. I got up this a.m. and flipped it over and ate a nibble, and thought this is good. After a couple of hours I took it off of the dehydrator and

Plus number 1 :) it remained whole for me
Plus number 2 :) it is pliable enough for me to make a sandwhich
Plus number 3 :) I had a piece with my avo butter and I am in bread heaven

Besides all those smiling plus things, I just said - it sure was easy! for Pansy and each of you who tried it and made changes, thank you sincerely, day 4 raw is a success! Yeah BaBY! Now, all I need to do is try to save HUBBY a taste. Well, the blessing is I had enough for two sheets, so it will be here when he comes home - barely!

Please, I don't want anyone to spoil my experience by telling me it could be too much of something, fat, protein, whatever, whatever, [COLOR=Red]IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TOO BAD FOR ME!

BTW - did you notice it was all about me - really guys, I am not selfish, aww bread - okay I am done :)

Hey Sweetlips - I'm glad you are enjoying the bread so much! Can't wait to make it myself! I was wondering, what is in the avo butter? Would you care to share? Thanks.

Sweetlips, at what temp did you dehydrate your bread? I had mine set at 110° and I had to dehydrate it for 24 hours before it was of a bread-like consistency.

Just out of curiosity, did your entire house smell like onions? Mine did. I had to open the windows yesterday. Next time I make it, I'll put the dehydrator in the garage or outside if it's not too cold.

Okay, I thought it was good but extremely "oniony" - a bit too strong for me -but I still liked it. I nibbled at it throughout the day yesterday. I'm going to try it today with some mock salmon pate and some romaine or kale and see how that goes.

Raw Mom - avo butter is not an origianal, it is from a post by rawvegirl -

Wow. Last night I blended avocado with a little sea salt and a little water, and it tasted exactly like butter to me! I had raw corn on the cob with it and kept moaning in ecstasy. It was so good!

Nutimom, there are two factors that may have made mine get ready faster - I used a temp of about 115, and I did not want it too crispy as I wanted it to be able to be used for sandwiches. It was the dehydrator for about 15 hours, and I had two trays, so it was kinda thin.

I used really sweet onions, so my home smelled a little like stuffing. It wasn't too oniony for me. My son thought it smelled like funyuns - some fake me out processed onion rings found in the chip section. All in all it was a pleasant experience because it is all gone - the family consumed it. I was the star last night

Okay, I made the onion bread last night. It's STILL in the dehydrator, though. I have an American Harvest and it seems like I have to leave food in there much longer than all recipes call for...

Anyway, it smells sooooooooo good! My roommate says the house smells like an onion factory! Is there such a thing? I haven't tasted it yet... I'm waiting until I get home tonight!! :)

I am quoting this out of my journal so you can all hear my feedback on the recipe.

I love sweet onions, so I was looking forward to this. Great recipe. I don't use soy so I pased on the tamari and braggs, and used a bit of celtic sea salt instead. the "batter" tastes good so I am sure the bread will too! I love wraps and flat bread, so I shall use it like that. Not rolled, but folded I guess.

The recipe made 2 1/2 sheets in my dehydrator! Speaking of dehydrators, I have an old Ronco that was given to my by a former boss. It works, only you have to keep the trays high off the bottom level, since I think it gets too warm down there. (It has no thermometer.) I have used it for a year or so, and as frugal as I am I just can't see buying an Excalibur when I have this one that works fine. (I don't tend to do too much dehydrating, I typically eat stuff natural and water filled ) ;)

I am having no cravings whatsoeer for wheat, since I cut it out for the 30 day challenge, and that is nice. I am thrilled to try the new "bread" recipe since it doesn't use wheat. Most of the crackers I make are sprouted wheat with ground sesame in them. So this is a nice change. I know my body does MUCH better without the wheat.

Thanks for the recipe. I think if one wanted to replace the Olive oil with mashed avocado to make it more "raw" they could. (I have done that in other crackers.) Either way, it looks yummy in the dehydrator, and I will enjoy it for lunch tomorrow!

Sweet Lips, That's it!!! I made it too thick! That's why it took so long. It was probably 1/2" thick. AHA!! Now that makes sense. Thank you!

I have the onion bread in the dehydrator and have tasted a little. You are right it is very good. My whole apt. smells so good. I hope that I am making the other people in the building hungry
, they are always cooking things that smell good so I love it when I have something that teases them lol

[smasty]

Ok...I bought my onions today! I'll whip it up tomorrow. I can't wait!!

[tracyinfo]

Someone mentioned olive oil as not being raw. I buy the cold-pressed olive oil assuming it was "raw". Is this wrong to think that way?

[flutterfly]

If you set your temp at 145 degrees as said on page one you are eating cooked. The temp has to be lower than 115 degrees.

[Sweet lips]

No Tracey, you are not wrong to think that way. This website my assist you :http://www.olivetree.eat-online.net/default. Have a nice day

Pansy, the onion bread is fantastic!! It took 36 hours in my dehydrator to get it to a "cracker" stage. It's so decadent! I'll be making this recipe often! :)

My two cents: I've made the onion bread twice so far and loved it both times...However, I find that I eat too much of it. It somehow taps into that salty, greasy chip mode of mindless munching. Anyway, not a big deal to eat "too much" of sunflower and flax seed and onions! I've binged on worse (much worse) but still, am keeping an eye on my intake from now on. In other words no more eating most of a batch in one day. Anyone else find this stuff too munch-able!?

Hi Sweet Lips,

Thanks for that link on the Olive Tree Oil website. Although they didn't seem to sell it there, I did find an address / phone number / e-mail address in there from Connecticut, where I could find out where they sell the Oil. When I read the article, it said in the process the temps was only 60F - 82F.

I use to get Spectrum Olive Oil, then I thought I remember reading that the temps were much higher in the processing of it. I did spend some time researching it, but couldn't find any info on the temp. All the articles said it was organic, natural, but no place did it say raw or alive. I'm going to check out the Olive Tree Oil.
