1 cup warm water (110°F)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 large onion (sweet), caramelized
1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Gruyère)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Gradually mix in flour and salt until the dough pulls away from the sides but remains slightly sticky.
Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Fold in caramelized onions and shredded cheese.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape dough into a loaf or rolls, place on parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
