Mona's Braided Onion Loaf

Lovely bread--easy to put together the dough and while it has its first rise, easy to caramelize the onion for the filling. I doubled the recipe and got five pretty 400 gram loaves. I sprinkled the parmesan over the onions on each of the pieces of dough and then sprinkled a bit more on the shaped loaves before egg-washing and sprinkling with sesame seeds. Since I had smaller loaves, I baked mine on a silpat for about 28 minutes total, rotating the loaves midway through. A keeper--and easy to imagine variations on the filling.
