Onion Rolls, Bread Machine

"These are easy with the help of your bread machine and taste way better than the store bought rolls. Directions are given for a 1 1/2 lb. machine. Note: in my photo the rolls are pictured with "Recipe #287863", which is delicious! 6/20/10 note: Many reviewers have noted the dough seems sticky. I always watch my machine as it starts to knead the dough and if it is looking sticky at the time, add more flour then. However, I am changing the recipe from 3 Cups flour to 3 1/4 cups flour today so definitely don't add additional flour unless the dough looks too moist."

directions

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; add onion. Saute onion about 10 minutes until tender, but not browned. Remove pan from heat and allow onion to cool slightly.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the onion mixture; set aside. Place remaining onion mixture and dough ingredients in bread pan, select the Dough setting, and press start.
  • When dough cycle is complete, turn dough onto a floured countertop or cutting board. Gently roll and stretch dough into a 12-inch rope. With a sharp knife, divide dough into 10 pieces.
  • Grease a large baking sheet. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then flatten slightly. Place rolls on prepared sheet. In a small bowl, beat together remaining egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt; brush egg mixture over each roll. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of reserved onion mixture on each roll. Let rise in warm oven 30 to 45 minutes until doubled. (Hint: To warm oven slightly turn oven on Warm setting for 2 minutes, then turn it off and place covered dough in oven to rise. Remove sheet from oven to preheat.).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Bake rolls 20 minutes until they are golden and onion is brown, but not burnt. Remove from oven and cool on racks.

  1. For starters, I didn't even have to make one adjustment to the dough as it bobbed around in the bread machine. This recipe is the best ever from perfect flavor to texture to golden-brown oniony crust for sirloin burgers; and I got rave reviews and big hugs from my family.
     
  2. These were phenomenal. I have made this one with the breadmaker and once with the kitchenaid mixer and it turned out great both times. I didn't find the dough to be sticky although I used the full 3 and a quarter cups of flour. These are definitely the new sandwich-standard in the house.
     
  3. These are so good!! I added caraway seeds too. Thanks so much for the recipe ??

  4. This dough is wonderful and easy. I made it for cabbage burgers and every one loved it and I have a house full of 3 year olds...wonderful recipe will pass it on to friends and family!!!!!
     
  5. Thanks for the recipe. These came out great, even after modifying it by cutting the salt in half, to 1/2 tsp, and using unsalted butter. May try adding more Onion Powder or maybe Garlic Powder next time. The crumb was moist and flaky like buns I buy in the store. I posted a picture above.

  1. I chopped one small onion and it was one cup, so I used all that into my bread, didnt save any for the tops. I also used all milk instead of the water since I didn't have powdered milk in the house. Made 8 large hamburger buns with the recipe, they were very good in texture, but could still use more onion, if you want to call them onion rolls. I will make again for hamburgers and sloppy joe recipes. I think they also will make a good roasted pork sandwich.
     
  2. Mmm, mmm! My husband and I really enjoyed these. I was making Recipe #13285 and didn't want to go out for buns so I tried this recipe. They are just as good as the store bought if not better! I didn't have dry milk powder so I substituted milk for the extra 2 tablespoons of water and let them raise on the counter until doubled becuase my oven was being used. They made the house smell wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe!!
