Onion Bread Rolls

The aroma of these bread rolls is likely to have everybody swooning and salivating. They are wonderful warm with lashings of butter and equally as good cold with lovely fillings for lunch.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 tsp dry yeast
640g bread flour (don't use plain flour the results will not be the same)
1 3/4 tbsp milk powder
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
25ml sunflower oil
1 small onion very finely chopped
400ml water

Method:

1. Steam the chopped onion in a little water in the microwave as you would any other vegetable. About 1 minute
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. Make a well in the middle and mix the ingredients with your hands.
4. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky - if it is too sticky add a little more flour.
5. Tip the mix onto a floured bench and with floured hands knead until smooth
6. Place back into lightly oiled mixing bowl and cover with cling wrap.
7. Leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until doubled in size
8. Punch the air out of the dough and tip onto a floured bench and kneed lightly
9. Shape into a fat sausage and cut into slices roughly shaping each slice into a roll and place on baking trays. I don't get to worried about the shape. I usually get about 10 large rolls or about 15 smaller rolls. Experiment. It won't hurt.
10. Place in a warm place for 1 hour
11. Heat oven to 200 degrees c and bake rolls for 10 minutes then turn heat down to 180 degrees c and back until golden or it sounds hollow when tapped - usually about another 5 minutes
12. Cool on on an rack.
