Cheese & Onion Bread

I guess its been a bready week for me, Some how every morning after waking up i have been wanting to do a bread. And i promise no more breads for a while after this post.

The first time i had this bread was when i was traveling to Sweden way back in 2005. I had an halt at Heathrow Airport for about 18 hrs & I wanted to do so much. i wanted to see the London eye, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar square, Big Ben, Borough market, Camden market and what not. So to take out time for eating was out of question. I picked up this bread from a local baker & i was sorted for the day. The bread was huge &because of the onion & cheese topping i didn't really need anything along with it. Since then i had never eaten this bread again.

So as i woke up this morning, I just wanted to eat that bread( probably i had a dream of being on the streets of London again) i remember the taste very faintly, but i shall not give it up without trying.
