Cheese & Onion Pull Apart Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

0.5 (500 g) packet frozen chopped onions
2 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
60 g butter, diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
2/3 cup grated tasty cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Place the frozen onions in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl; add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips to resemble fine breadcrumbs.
Mix the egg, milk and mustard together; add them to the flour mixture and mix to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly; and then divide the mixture into approximately 14 uneven pieces.
Line a greased 14cm x 22cm loaf pan with baking paper; and place half the dough in pieces over the base.
Sprinkle with half of the onion, cheese and parsley; then cover it with the remaining dough and the remaining onion, cheese and parsley.
Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 200\u00b0C /400\u00b0F for 40-45 minutes or until it is a rich golden brown.
Notes: This is best eaten hot straight from the oven. Add chopped kalamata olives or diced bacon with the onion for a tasty addition.
