The following recipe showed up on a completely different mailing list.
I have never made it, but reading it is making my mouth water. The
restaurant referred to is Ratner's, a kosher dairy restaurant in New
York.
Onion Rolls
Sorce:The Melting Pot ( Hebrew Academy Of Long Beach Women's Leage)
They claim this recipe is from the restaurant.
Yield: 24 rolls
Dough:
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 C. lukewarm water
2 T. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 C. whole eggs (about 3)
6 T. oil
4-5 C. all purpose flour
1 egg, well beaten, for wash
Filling:
1 C. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1 T. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup oil
1. In a bowl soften yeast in lukewarm water. Stir in sugar,salt, eggs, oil
and enough flour to form a stiff dough.
2. Knead on a floured suface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl and turn to grease top. Let rise, covered, in
a warm dry place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Punch down and knead on a floured surface and roll dough into a 18 x 24
inch oblong. Cut dough into twelve 6x13 inch pieces.
4. To prepare filling, mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spoon 3/4 of the
mixture over dough. Fold 1/3 of the dough over onions and fold 1/3 over
again from the other side.
5. Place rolls, seam side down, on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten rolls
until they are five inches long. Cut rolls in half.
6. Brush rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with remaining onion
mixture.* Let rise, covered, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about
30 minutes.
7. Bake rolls in a preheated hot oven (400 F) for 15-30 minutes.
*The onion rolls can be frozen at this point. When ready to bake, place
frozen rolls on a greased cookie sheet and let rise, uncovered, in a warm
place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Then bake as directed.
