Instructions

1
|
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and melted butter until incorporated.
2
|
Add about 2 ½ cups of flour to start and fold in with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding the remaining ¼ cup of flour until a smooth and soft dough forms. Place into a floured or oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
|
While the dough is rising, begin cooking the chopped onion with 2 tablespoons of butter, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Cover to allow the onions to sweat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes until the onions are golden brown. They will reduce quite a bit.
4
|
Add the chopped fresh dill, onion powder, and minced fresh garlic and stir while cooking for 1 minute. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl and let cool for 10 minutes before folding in 2 tablespoons of softened butter.
5
|
Once the dough has risen, punch down and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16"X12". Spread the mostly cooled onion and dill mixture evenly onto the dough.
6
|
Roll the dough up tightly in a log and slice into 15 rolls using a sharp knife or unfavored dental floss. Arrange in a buttered baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375℉.
7
|
Once risen, bake in the preheated oven for 15-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Caramelize Onions Slowly 🧅
    Take your time caramelizing onions on low heat for 20-25 minutes to develop deep, sweet flavor without burning - this is crucial for the roll's filling.
  • Activate Yeast Perfectly 🫖
    Ensure your warm milk is between 110-115°F to properly activate instant yeast without killing it - use a kitchen thermometer for precision.
  • Fresh Dill Chopping Hack 🌿
    Chop fresh dill just before adding to the filling to preserve its vibrant flavor and prevent wilting, using a sharp knife for clean cuts.
  • Butter Brush Technique 🧈
    Use a silicone pastry brush to evenly coat rolls with melted butter before and after baking for a golden, glossy finish that adds rich flavor.
  • Proofing Environment Control 🌡️
    Create a warm, draft-free proofing environment by placing dough in a turned-off oven with a pan of hot water to ensure perfect rise and texture.
