Simple Onion Bread (Never on Sunday)

My enthusiastic intentions and actions have been magnified these days, even on Sunday which is my day of lazy rest, exactly like that oldie-goldie song's saying in the film "Pote tin Kyriaki" or "Never on Sunday" 1960 with the charm of Greece, Melina Mercouri!!! ;) So I made my feel-good onion bread, with a little adjustment from Bill Granger's Spring Onion Bread Recipe, served with a glass of cherry-berries juice for such a lovely Sunday morning...A combination of plain bread and roti (a crunchy outer layer 'n' a softer inside), with a hint of curry powder, enhancing exotic East-meet-West blend in your mouth!  :)
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose or bread flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 cup boiling water
1-2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 onion, finely chopped
vegetable oil for frying
  • Place flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a bowl (or in a food processor). Add boiling water in a thin stream and process until dough forms a ball. I mixed it manually (with a glove). Knead for a few minutes, using extra flour if dough sticks to the bowl. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes;
  • Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and roll each portion on a lightly floured surface until 25 cm in diameter. Combine the 2 kinds of oil in a bowl and brush some on the dough. 
  • Mix chopped onions and curry powder. Sprinkle each dough circle with a pinch of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of curry-onions;
  • Roll bread, Swiss-roll fashion, and then coil up. Roll out again into circles 15 cm in diameter;
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add bread, cover the pan and reduce heat to low. After a few minutes check the bread: if it is golden brown underneath, turn and cook the other side; if not, cook for another minute and recheck;
  • When the bread is golden brown on both sides, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Cook the remaining 2 rounds of dough. Cut each round into six pieces and sprinkle with sea salt.

I love this film! Timeless! :)
