Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups - warm milk
  • 1 tbsp - white sugar
  • 1 tsp - sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons - instant yeast (quick-rise yeast)
  • 1 tbsp - salted butter
  • 2 ¾ cups - all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons - salted butter
  • 1 ½ cups - white onion
  • ¼ tsp - sea salt
  • ¼ tsp - ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup - fresh dill*
  • 1 tsp - onion powder
  • 1 clove - fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons - salted butter

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.
