Onion Bread with Sesame Seeds

I enjoy making this recipe for Onion Bread with Sesame Seeds when I bake a roast or serve beef. It smells delicious, and everyone loves the flavor, tender crumb, and the rustic appearance. Serve with butter, or even for sandwiches.

For this recipe you’ll need two special ingredients: dry onion soup mix and sesame seeds. Everything else is standard pantry staples.

Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
