Personally, and speaking ONLY for myself, if I was on the receiving end of a
bread basket, I'd hope for brioche to be in there somewhere. But your idea
of a savory bread with onions is fine, too.

On a related note, I just discovered that Suzanne Dunaway's _No Need To
Knead_ contains the recipe for the Buona Forchetta Hazelnut-Sage Filoncino.
I ordered the book from Amazon immediately: That filoncino is exceptional; I
particularly like it slightly warmed and spread with goat cheese. If you
included THAT in your bread basket, the recipients would surely become your
devoted slaves.
