Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Warm milk (around 110°F/45°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 medium Yellow onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme (optional)
• 1 whole Egg, for egg wash (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Water, for egg wash

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and thyme (if using) during the last minute of cooking, then set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is soft and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the caramelized onions over it. Knead gently just to incorporate the onions evenly into the dough.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or round pie pan.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, whisk together the egg and water for an egg wash and brush it onto the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Onion Pull Apart Rolls!
