Beer, Cheese 'n Onion Bread

Recipe #383676 | 50 min | 30 min prep | add private note

I like to make my bread dough a day ahead; the fridge slows but doesn't stop the yeast. This may look like a lot of work, but other than the first few steps, it's no more difficult than grabbing a drink from the fridge. Marmite isn't as scary as people think once it's cooked into other things, but if you hate it that much, leave it out and add a little extra salt instead. I've even made a version with prepared horseradish. I like brown ale or Guinness for this, but any old beer or even water will do.

SERVES 6 , 6 mini-loaves (change servings and units)
