Pull apart Cheesy, Onion, Garlic Bread:

Adapted from Kitchen Daily www.kitchendaily.com

1 1/2 stick cold unsaltet butter (1 stick cubed)
1 med onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlick mashed with a knife and chopped
1 T sesame seeds
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 c coarsely shredded mozzarella cheese
2 c all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 c buttermilk (if not on hand have an easy fix at the bottom)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Butter a 9-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a large skillet, melt the 1/2 stick of uncubed butter; pour 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into a small bowl and reserve. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the poppy seeds, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Scrape the onion mixture onto a plate and refrigerate for 5 minutes, until cooled slightly. Stir in the Mozzarella.
2. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse 3 to 4 times, scrape the sides of the bowl and pulse again until it is the size of small peas. Add the buttermilk and pulse 5 or 6 times, just until a soft dough forms.

3. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead 2 or 3 times. Pat or roll the dough into a 2-by-24-inch rectangle. Spread the onion mixture on top. Cut the dough crosswise into 10 pieces. Stack 9 pieces onion side up, then top with the final piece, onion-side down. Carefully lay the stack in the prepared loaf pan and brush with the reserved butter.
4. Bake the loaf in the center of the oven for about 30 minutes, until it is golden and risen. Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before unmolding and serving.

Serve with your favorite dish.  I chose Ravioli in my homemade Marinara Meat Sauce.

Making a recipe that calls for buttermilk? Use this simple substitute, and you won't need to buy any:

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• Milk (just under one cup)
• 1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice

Preparation:

1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.3. Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.

This works great I do it all the time because I don't use buttermilk on a regular basis.
