Another Onion Bread Thread

[harmony]

Ok Guys,

I made the onion bread, and tasted it slightly and did like it, but I got sick smelling it in the dehydrator. I even had to put the dehydrator on the back porch to finsh it off. I gave it to some of my raw friends and they said it was wonderful, but the smell made me so nauseated that I can't bear the thought of making it again. Did I do something wrong or is it just me? I feel bad everyone is talking about this wonderful bread, and I can't bring myself to make it again.

I'm making Dehydrated Onion Rings now and it does the same thing to me. I have always hated the smell of cooking onions. This is a difficult thing when you grow up in a hungarian/unkranian family, they live on onions!

[sweetgoddess]

what kind of onions did you use???

[askcassyfirst]

I found the scent strong, but not troublesome. We have used the sweet maya type when making this recipe. I think that part of the reason it isn't so bad is that we are at work during the day. But the onion scent is there. When I made the oregano carrot version, the scent was less onion-y and more like a pizza pie. Go figure.

Cassy. :)

i used the sweet mayan onions. Actually, I'm an onion lover, but for some reason this reciple didn't agree with me.

[sweetgoddess]

I made this the other day and used only half a sweet maya onion....and it did not smell up the house at all this time. I think less is better! ;)

Thanks Sweet, I'll give it one more go.

peace

You can also just use the base--of flax meal , sunflower meal , oil and pinch of sea salt...add whatever you want to it from there, doesnt have to be onions. I added cinnamon, raisins and honey..was good..then I used it for almond butter and banana sandwich base or almond butter and crushed up strawberries.

Next I am going to make it into italian by adding italian seasoning, garlic olives sundreied tomatoes etc. mmmmm

Warmly~

Just got my dehydrator out of storage!! Are the flax and sunflower seeds supposed to be soaked first?

[Rawkinlocs]

No, just grind the dry flax seeds in a coffee grinder or your blender and the sunflower seeds, I've done it without soaking, but soaking them first may prove to make it more digestible but isn't necessary.

[askcassyfirst]

I just popped another batch of the oregano version into the dehydrator. I also added a bit of sweet red pepper, just for color really.

The batter tastes great.

Carmel, I am going to try the cinnamon verson you suggested. I think my hubby would like that...

Cassy :)

With all of these versions, I may need someone to post a new recipe the italian sounds good. I appreciate everyone's help because I would really like some nice bread. I'm going to work on it once I get more sunflower seeds.

thanks again

I couldn't stand the onion bread! Now, before you banish me from the raw island, hear me out....

It was waaaaaaay too oniony. Maybe I added too much. Maybe the onions were too strong. Maybe the look of horror on my husbands face after I accidently breathed on him after having a bite was enough to scare me off it forever.

I'll try with less onion I guess....the Italian sounds awesome!

Thanks Rawkinlocs. Can you grind wet, soaked seeds in a coffee grinder or do you have to dry them out first (like on a paper towel)?

Also, can someone recommend a way to make this bread recipe more neutral-tasting? A substitute for the onions, in other words. I'm thinking I would love to spread Alissa's curry onion dip on some bread for lunch one day, but I think the onion taste might be overwhelming.

I love the smell of the onions dehydrating, but my DH couldn't stand the smell, so I just put the dehydrator out in the garage. He's happy since he doesn't have to smell it and I'm happy because my grandson and I have it to eat.

If you like eating it, but can't handle the smell, just put the dehydrator where you won't notice the smell as much.
