Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 1/2 cup milk, scalded and cooled
• 2 eggs
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups flour
• Topping: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, Parmesan cheese, herbs, ect…

Directions:

Cut the onion into a fine dice and set aside. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the onion, and saute over medium low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onion is very soft and light brown. Stir in the sugar and saute an addition 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the milk, 1 egg, butter, sugar, salt, and flour. Stir  to combine, then knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic – 5 to 10 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover it with lightly greases plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it’s double in bulk, about 2 hours.

Punch the dough down, and knead in the sauteed onions. Shape the dough into a ball, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 9 equal portions. If making hamburger rolls, shape dough into disks about 3 1/2 inches across and 3/4 inches thick. If making hotdog rolls, shape dough into cylinders about 4 inches in length. Place rolls on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Make an egg wash by beating the remaining egg with a little water and brush it on top of the rolls. Sprinkle with desired topped. Cover them with lightly greased plastic wrap, and set aside to rise about 1 1/2 hours.

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
