Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.75 cups Rye flour
• 2.25 cups Bread flour
• 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast, warm water, and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, bread flour, caraway seeds, and salt.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough rises, prepare the onion topping by sautéing the chopped onion in butter over medium heat until soft and golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Using your fingertips, gently flatten each roll to about 1 inch thick.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rounds with the egg wash and evenly distribute the sautéed onions on top of each roll.

Step 12

Bake the rounds for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 13

Allow the Onion Rye Rounds to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
