Ingredients

1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, sugar, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat well with an electric hand mixer.
By hand, add in the egg, cheese, caraway seed and dry onion, and as much of the remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough.
Knead on a floured surface or in a heavy-duty stand mixer for about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, could take more or less time).
Punch down dough.
Remove from bowl onto lightly floured board; cut into 2 strips, and twist.
Transfer to a slightly greased cookie sheet; tuck in ends of dough slightly.
Cover with a clean tea towel, and let rise until double in bulk.
If desired mix one egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water, brush on bread then sprinkle with, dryed onion, caraway seeds or sesame seeds before baking.
Bake at 350 degrees (convection oven preferably) for 30 minutes.
