Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 medium sweet onions (e.g., Vidalia), thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Gradually add melted butter, salt, and flour while stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Caramelize Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and soft.
- Shape the Buns: Punch down risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread caramelized onions evenly on top and roll tightly into a log.
- Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into equal pieces and place cut-side up on a greased baking sheet.
- Final Rise & Bake: Cover rolls with a towel; let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
