GRANDMA EVA'S ONION BOARD (PLETZEL)
An old Eastern European recipe that can sometimes be found in NY bakeries. This is my grandmother's recipe where my sister painstakingly forced my grandmother to place her handfuls of flour into measuring cups for proper measurements. The recipe is exactly as she made it and far better then any I've had from a bakery shelf. Note: Preparation time doesn't include 1 hour and 15 minutes for rising this yeast dough.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will also prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Cook the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor.
- Stir the onions occasionally while they are cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Be patient! Caramelizing onions takes time. Don't rush the process or you will end up with undercooked onions.
