Bread: Caraway Onion Bread

1/4 c. butter

1/3 c. minced onion

1 c. 100% Bran cereal

1 c. buttermilk

1 egg

1 1/2 c. unbleached flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. caraway seeds

Preheat oven to 350.  Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan.  Melt butter.  Add onions and cook on low till onion is tender.  Remove from heat and stir in the bran cereal and buttermilk.  Let this stand until cereal is soft.  Beat in the egg.  In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and caraway seeds.  Stir until well mixed.  Add onion-cereal mixture, and stir until just moist.  Batter will be very thick!  Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry.  Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; then remove and cool on a rack.
