In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, peel and finely chop the onion.
In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion in a teaspoon of olive oil until soft and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and transfer it back to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly and create a small indentation in the center using your fingers to form a well.
Place a teaspoon of the cooked onion mixture into each indentation. Sprinkle poppy seeds and a pinch of salt over the onions.
Place the prepared bialys onto the baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
Bake the bialys in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
