Korean Onion Bread / YangPaBbang Recipe

If you are a regular reader, you might know that I am part of Bread Bakers group and we bake a bread every month on a theme selected by the host. This month it is Karen of Karen’s Kitchen Stories. And her theme for this month is root vegetables. We can bake any bread using any of the root vegetables like onions, shallots, carrots, ginger, turnips, radishes or potatoes. As I did a potato roll last month, I was looking for some other vegetable to be used. There is one recipe which is so famous among the BM group and it is Korean Onion Bread. Varada posted it first and Srivalli and Pavani also posted it. Even I wanted to try it. I loved Valli’s version of adding coloured bell peppers. And for the cheese, I used paneer instead of mozarella in the original recipe.

Actually the original recipe uses some meat but Varada had used bell pepper instead. I went for the ingredients I had at hand. As I didn’t have mozarella, I used crumbled paneer.And for the topping, as there was no cheese to bring the onions together they just fell apart after baking. So if you have cheese, do not omit it. You need it to bring the ingredients together. Even without the cheese topping, the bread was so delicious. The baked onions and bell peppers gave a nice sweetness. And I would recommend to toast the bread slice before serving. And serve it topped with tomato ketchup. We had a filling dinner on that day. I used half wheat flour and half maida. You can even use wheat flour for the whole recipe and I am sure it will be an awesome healthy bake.

      1. 🙂 Thanks. Can I try omitting the sugar in other recipes of yours as well. Like the spicy rolls, has a little sweet taste because of the sugar and that doesn’t go too well with my folks!

  1. Looks very yummy Gayatri. Nice variations to the plain breads. Can’t wait to try out some of your breads.
