Description

Grandma’s Surprise Onion Soup Bread (1968) is a flavorful and comforting bread that combines the cheesy goodness of cheddar with the savory depth of dry onion soup mix. Perfectly moist and aromatic, this bread is an ideal accompaniment for any meal or a savory snack on its own. Baking this bread fills your kitchen with a nostalgic, mouthwatering aroma that promises a delicious treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 packages (2 oz) dry onion soup mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk

Cheese

  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, grated or shredded, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and dry onion soup mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Cheese: Stir in the buttermilk to the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese gently using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  4. Prepare Loaf Pan: Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top evenly.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the batter in the loaf pan for a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The bread should be golden and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Cooling: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to avoid drying out.

Notes

  • Do not slice the bread while it is hot, as this can cause it to dry out.
  • Use grated cheddar cheese for better melting and flavor distribution.
  • Ensure the dry onion soup mix is well incorporated to spread the onion flavor throughout the bread.
  • For best results, allow the bread to cool fully on a wire rack before storing.
  • This bread pairs well with soups, salads, or can be enjoyed as a savory snack.
