onion buns/bread

How To Make onion buns/bread

• Step 1
  CARAMELIZED ONIONS... In a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and when hot, add onions; season with salt. Sauté until soft and golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to allow to cool.
• Step 2
  BREAD... In a stand mixer, add yeast, water, and honey. Let it proof for 10 minutes.
• Step 3
  In a bowl, combine flour, dehydrated minced onions, oregano leaves, and salt; whisk until combined.
• Step 4
  When the yeast is alive and foamy, add dry ingredients, 3 Tbsp olive oil, and sautéed onions.
• Step 5
  With the dough hook attachment, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Increase to speed 3 and process until the dough clings around the hook. Increase to 4 and knead for 4 minutes.
• Step 6
  With oily hands, form a ball by pulling the dough under and place it in a greased bowl, tossing around to coat.
• Step 7
  Cover with a clean dish towel and transfer to a draft-free area. Let it rise for 1 1/2 hours or until it doubles in size.
• Step 8
  For buns… Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. For a loaf of bread… Lightly grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper and set aside.
• Step 9
  Remove from its spot, knock the air out, and drop the dough on a lightly floured work surface. If making a loaf of bread, simply fold the dough under and place it in the prepared pan.
• Step 10
  For buns, spread dough into a rectangular shape of 1 foot long by 5-inches wide. Using a bench scraper, cut it in half, then each half in half, and finally, half again widthwise (this recipe makes 8 large buns, but it can always be cut into smaller pieces).
• Step 11
  Form a small ball with each piece by pulling the dough under. Gently stretch each of them into a flat disc about 1/2-inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Step 12
  Cover with the same dish towel and place it in a draft-free spot to proof for 1 hour for both buns or bread. Make sure the towel is NOT tucked under; otherwise, the buns won’t rise.
• Step 13
  Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Step 14
  Delicately, brush an egg wash on top of the buns or bread. For the buns, sprinkle some finely chopped onions on top, and for the bread, put thinly sliced onions.
• Step 15
  Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Step 16
  Remove from the heat and let the buns or bread cool completely before slicing.
