Ingredients Needed to Make French Onion Pull-Apart Bread
- Non-dairy milk: Activates the yeast and adds moisture to the dough. Use soy or oat milk for the best structure. Unsweetened is also recommended!
- Vegan butter: Adds richness to the dough and creates a savory, melt-in-your-mouth filling.
- Sugar: Feeds the yeast and helps the onions caramelize evenly. It also enhances the sweetness of the onions.
- Active dry yeast: Gives the bread a soft, fluffy, airy texture.
- Flour: Provides structure. Bread flour gives a chewier crumb, but all-purpose flour works too.
- Baking powder: Adds extra lift for a lighter loaf.
- Salt: Balances flavor in both the dough and the filling.
- Sweet onions: Create the signature French onion flavor we are looking to achieve in this recipe. Sweet onions are perfect for this recipe because of their subtle sweetness and ability to caramelize evenly.
- Garlic: Adds depth of flavor and savory aroma.
- Fresh thyme: Brings in an herby note that complements the flavor of the onions.
- Vegan mozzarella: Takes this bread to the next level. We like to use Daiya, Violife, or Follow Your Heart shreds for this recipe.
- Vegan parmesan: We like to grate Violife parmesan fresh for this recipe.
- Black pepper: Just a pinch goes a long way to deepen the flavor.
- Chives: Add the perfect pop of color to a golden, broad loaf of pull-apart bread.
