Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

¾ cup lukewarm milk
5 tablespoons lukewarm water
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
¼ cup instant potato flakes
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
¼ cup dried minced onion

Steps:

Place the milk, water, butter, salt, sugar, onion powder, 3 tablespoons of dried onion, potato flakes, flour and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle, and press Start.
When the cycle has completed, remove the dough from the machine, and knead on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 equal pieces, and form into balls. Gently flatten the balls until they are 4 inches in diameter. If they keep shrinking back, just let them relax for a minute before flattening. Place on a baking sheet, and cover loosely with a towel. Set in a draft-free place to rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together the egg white and water in a cup. Brush over the tops of the risen rolls, and sprinkle with remaining minced onion.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool completely, then slice in half horizontally before using.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepped. This recipe moves quickly, and mise en place will prevent scrambling.
Activate Yeast Properly: Ensure water temperature is accurate (105-115°F/40-46°C) for optimal yeast activation. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature precisely.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. The dough should pass the windowpane test, where you can stretch it thin enough to see light through it without tearing.
Proofing: Proof the dough in a warm, humid environment (75-85°F/24-29°C) for about an hour, or until it doubles in size. This ensures proper dough development and a light, airy crumb.
Shape and Cut Rolls: Shape the dough into a rectangle, then divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll it out into an oval shape. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with grated onion and poppy seeds, and roll up tightly.
Second Proof: Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until noticeably puffy.
Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash before baking. This gives them a golden brown, glossy crust.

The tender, fluffy dough is filled with the savory goodness of caramelized onions, while the poppy seed topping adds a touch of crunch.
