Submitted by trenicar on July 9, 2008 - 3:22pm Morton's Onion BreadHi this is my first post. 9 years ago I visited Morton's restaurant next to the twin towers. I remember the meal was great, but the one thing that sticks in my mind is the loaf of hot bread that came with the meal. It was Onion Bread and wondered if anybody had a recipe that would be similar to this I have never found a loaf as good. I live in France, in a small village where we have an artisan baker, he is quite experimental, and I try to bake as well. I am English, but we both have a passion for fresh bread. This seems a great site and I look forward to trying some of the recipes, I will let you know how I get on

Trenicar...welcome to TFL....
I'm sorry I can't help with your recipe request, I did a quick search for the recipe via the Internet, but came up empty. :/
Might I suggest that you try sending the request to the corporate offices of Morton's? Perhaps they will offer it, and if they don't, well....DARN! You would at least know whether or not they will or won't...right?
Please keep us posted if you are blessed with the actual, or a similar recipe. I've not had this bread, but the name of the restaurant is quite familiar.
Happy baking to you!

Not in there...
I have the book and the onion bread recipe is not in it unfortunately. A lot of other tasty recipes are...
Mortons Onion Bread
I sent a note to the corporate office asking for the recipe. They just replied saying they give the recipe to commercial bakeries who sub contract for local markets and it's a big quantity formula. I replied that I could convert the recipe and would appreciate it if they could provide it. We'll see what happens. Their steaks are unbelievable!

Morton's Onion Bread 9 years ago I visited Morton's restaurant next to the twin towers. I remember the meal was great, but the one thing that sticks in my mind is the loaf of hot bread that came with the meal. It was Onion Bread and wondered if it would be possible to send me a copy of the recipe, even a commercial sized recipe would be fine. I have never found a loaf as good. I live in France, in a small village where we have an artisan baker, and I try to bake as well. I am English, but we both have a passion for fresh bread. I even bought a copy of the Mortons cookbook hoping to find a copy of the recipe, but unfortunately, it didnt have it. I really would appreciate your help Thanks

Dear Tim,
Unfortunately , the baking company who created the recipe does not want it shared with the general public. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

So there we have it, they are not prepared to publish. I'll just have to experiment
From my reading,
I would start with a brioche recipe and add re-hydrated dry onions. See where that takes you.
blasted, so close. I had
blasted, so close. I had lunch there the other day, and the bread was fabulous. I'm not sure if there are onions IN the bread, or merely on top... but I think I'll stop by soon as it's close to my office. I seem to recall it was kind of sweet, I thought potato played a large part, with just dried onion topping.
apparently similar to moretons bread recipe
Hey all, I too can remember how good that onion bread at Moretons was, and i was looking around and found this recipe. I haven't tried it but intend to. Please try it and let me know if it is similar.

Wow, 10 Tbsps fat! Well, I know it must have had some fat/protein, but I wouldn't go so far as calling it a Challah. Maybe a half Challah, it was fluffy, just not that fluffy. There wasn't much special about the bread, like it wasn't particularly flavored, just that it was hot, some protein/fat fluffy, and onions on top. I have no idea how they do those sticky onions on top, is it rehydrated onions?
I tried something like the above recipe once, I did butter/oil and fresh onions, browned them, and put them in the bread to ferment overnight, and that was pretty bad... just not the same "oniony" flavor that I was going for, maybe the onions needed to dry out more.
Thanks for bringing the subject, reminds me what I'm going to be baking tomorrow!
