Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 egg white
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 tablespoons dried minced onion
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
• 5 tablespoons lukewarm water
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup dried minced onion
• 0.75 cup lukewarm milk
• 0.25 cup instant potato flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Place milk, water, butter, salt, sugar, onion powder, 3 tablespoons dried onion, potato flakes, flour, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in that order, or follow the order recommended by the manufacturer if different. Select the Dough cycle and press Start.

Step 4

When the cycle has completed, remove dough from the machine and knead on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 equal pieces and form into balls. Gently flatten the balls until they are 4 inches in diameter. If they keep shrinking back, just let them relax for a minute before flattening. Place on a baking sheet and cover loosely with a towel. Set in a draft-free place to rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Step 5

Whisk together egg white and water in a cup. Brush over the tops of the risen rolls and sprinkle with 1/4 cup minced onion.

Step 6

Cool completely then slice in half horizontally before using.
