two kinds of loaf this time

i've known all week that my mom wanted to make meatloaf today. i didn't like the idea of somebody cooking instead of me on my day off; with that and a little random inspiration i was off. i had to have the best meatloaf sandwich ever and i wanted to have fun in the process. i decided to make an onion baguette to use for the bread on my meatloaf sandwich.

instead of looking up an onion bread recipe i chose to take the baguette recipe i use and add a shitload of onion to it, i could've used onion powder instead of a little flour but i wanted to do this right. before i started the dough i caramelized five diced small onions until golden brown. i spread them thin on a sheet pan and set them to cool. they cooled by the time the yeast was ready to use.

the bread turned out great, my first attempt at my own kind of bread.

the bread tastes just how i want it to, i'm considering boil it and making bagels next time.

i made sure to get the meatloaf made myself because i wanted my own kind of cooking, i let my mom cook because i wanted a nap; she cooks the loaf better than i do but i make the meat better.

the bread is nice and soft like a sub roll, taste quite a bit like onion.

i dressed the sandwich with gravy, brown mustard, and cheddar cheese.

i was really looking forward to this, haven't had meatloaf in a long time. this sandwich met my expectations and then some.
