Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, warm water, and hot milk. Add vegetable oil and mix until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. While the dough is rising, chop the onions and sauté them in butter with the spices until soft. Allow to cool.
Assembly and Baking
  1. After the dough has risen, roll out half of it into a rectangle. Layer the sautéed onions and grated cheese evenly on top.
  2. Roll out the second half of the dough and cover the cheese and onion mixture. Seal the edges well, then decorate the top as desired.
  3. Let the assembled bread rise for an additional 20-30 minutes in a warm place.
  4. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the top of the bread with a mixture of egg yolk and milk, then sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Stuffed Onion Cheese Bread can be served warm for maximum gooeyness. Slice into wedges, or cut into bite-sized pieces for gatherings. For an extra touch, brush with melted butter and garlic before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. Reheat in the oven.
