Ingredients (for 1 loaf)

Dough

  • 1 packet dry yeast (7 g)

  • 150 ml lukewarm water

  • 100 g herb cream cheese (soft)

  • ½ tbsp sugar

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 300 g wheat flour

  • 20 g soft butter

Filling

  • 30 g soft butter

  • 1 packet onion soup mix (approx. 50 g)


Preparation

1. Activate yeast

Stir yeast with sugar and lukewarm water.
Let stand for 5–10 minutes until bubbles form.

2. Prepare dough

Place flour and salt in a bowl.
Gently warm herb cream cheese and butter until soft.

Add yeast mixture and cheese to the flour and knead for 8–10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.

Cover and let rise for approx. 60–90 minutes, until doubled in volume.

3. Prepare filling

Mix butter well with the onion soup powder.

4. Shape

Roll out dough into a rectangle (approx. 30 × 40 cm).
Spread butter-onion mixture evenly.

Roll up from the long side.

Cut the roll lengthwise in half (cut surface visible).
Gently twist both strands together and place them open-side up in a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Let rise for another 20–30 minutes.

5. Bake

Preheat oven to 190 °C top/bottom heat.

Bake for approx. 25–30 minutes until the bread is golden brown.

If it gets too dark, loosely cover with aluminum foil.


Tip
Tastes especially good with herb or garlic butter.
