Jim's Cheddar Onion Soda Bread Recipe is ridiculously good. Too good. So good that it will make you fat, because you won't want to let anyone else have a slice.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

3/4 cup finely chopped onion

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting

6 tablespoons butter, softened

Method:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F 220 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour, salt, and baking powder until thoroughly combined.

Beat in the butter, buttermilk, and confectioners' sugar to make a dough; gently mix in the onion and Cheddar cheese.

Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a ball.

Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten to about 2 inches thick. Dust each loaf with flour.

Bake on a preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes.

Cool on racks for a few minutes; serve warm.
