Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add in milk, melted butter, egg, salt, and half of the flour (about 1.5 cups). Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Mix in the sautéed onion, parsley, and thyme. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until a smooth dough is formed.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until elastic and smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash for a glossy finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
