Onion Rosemary Cheese Bread

The schools in Malaysia started a week ago. That means it's back to baking as we normally have bread for breakfast in the mornings.

I baked a savory bread recently. Noticed that lately my children seem to prefer savories to sweets in the mornings.

We love big onions in our food so when I baked an onion rosemary cheese bread it was snapped up during breakfast. This is a really fragrant bread as herbs are used. The aroma of this freshly baked bread is heavenly.
