Onion dill bread

I decided to make this bread recipe a little while ago. Dill and onion bread. It sounded interesting, so I went for it. I'm really glad I did, because it turned out awesome. It was pretty easy to make too. It started with a simple bread dough that I added dill to. After it rose, I flattened it and covered it in red onions.

Then the hard part came. Wile my eyes were burning and tearing from the onions I had to roll up the dough and knead it. Yeah, this sounds easy now, but wile I was kneading the dough, the onions were slipping out and making a general mess. But other than that, it was really easy to make. This bread got nice and brown after being in the oven, and the crust was not that hard. The bread had an almost buttery taste.

Now, I know what your thinking. I'm slacking with my blogging. I honestly don't know what it is. Well, first off, I'm lazy, and on top of that, I'm a procrastinator. But it seems that with the more free time I have, the less I do. Doesn't that seem crazy? Well, I won't have much free time for long, the school year is coming along, so that means more blogging. lol.
