I have always loved onions and for a long time I didn’t really know the difference in all of the different kinds. After a bit of experimentation, I started finding I preferred some onions over others. I’m so excited to be partnering with one of my favorites – Vidalia Onions – on this sponsored recipe!
When I am looking for sweet onions to use in a recipe or serve in a salad or on a burger, I always look for the Vidalia sticker so I know that I am getting real Vidalia onions and not a substitution! Turns out that I am not the only one who loves sweet onions, they represent the largest segment of onions sold every year. And Vidalia onions represent 62% of all of those sweet onion sales, so you KNOW they are good! They are also the most recognized sweet onion brand because of their association with a sweet flavor and mild taste.
Vidalia onions are grown in South Georgia where the weather, water and soil all work to create that unique mild flavor. They are grown by about 100 growers in 20 counties and most of those are family-run, multigenerational operations. Those farmers largely hand plant and harvest each onion. Those same onions can be found in your local grocery store from mid-April through August.
While you have those fabulous Vidalia onions at your disposal, why not make this delicious and savory Onion Bread?

I’ve had it out a bunch of times and always wanted to try making it at home.
Mommy Sigrid says
Oh wow! I would like to try this. A savory bread is sooo good. Such a nice twist to the usual sweat breads 😀 Not cloying at all. I wonder how my kids would take it though

Kallia says
I always look for a good onion bread recipe! This seems like just the one I need to try! What can I substitute for carrots, what do you think?
Maureen Fitzgerald says
Hmmm – there aren’t any carrots in it so you should be good.

WHO would have thought it.
Maureen Fitzgerald says

Annie says
A new family favorite! Made it for a family dinner and it was a hit! It was soft and savory.

Betty says
Light soft crumb. Very very tasty. Since it’s not a yeast bread it tends my palate to think biscuit. I love this bread. Really fine diced the onion, afraid of the flavor overpowering the bread but not a problem. I used 1/2 cup sharp cheddar and Colby-jack with slices of pepper jack. I made 8 small sandwich rolls and one small (3×5?) It is a keeper and am making 2 full loaves right now. Should go great with the pot of veggie soup on the stove.
Linda says
There are no words to describe this WONDERFUL bread!!! OH MY! I could take the whole loaf & run & hide..So good!
Thank you for sharing.
Rosalie says
What type of onion should I use if I can’t get vidalias
Maureen Fitzgerald says
A sweet onion would be the best substitute. Thanks for stopping by!!
Shari says
Making this AGAIN!! We love this sooo much and it is so easy!
I sprinkle the top with caned onion rings for color and crunch!
I slice into 4 pieces and my husband and I have the rest in the freezer for the future!
Yum, thanks!!
