Onion roll

Onion Roll

An Onion Roll is a type of bread roll made with onion and other ingredients. It is a popular item in various cuisines around the world, particularly in Jewish cuisine, where it is often served as part of a traditional Shabbat meal.

History

The onion roll has its roots in Eastern Europe, where onions were a common ingredient in many dishes. The roll was traditionally made by adding chopped onions to the dough before baking. Over time, the recipe evolved and variations of the onion roll began to appear in different regions.

Preparation

The basic ingredients for an onion roll are flour, yeast, water, salt, and onions. The onions are usually sautéed or caramelized before being added to the dough. Some recipes also include poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or other seasonings for added flavor.

The dough is mixed, kneaded, and then allowed to rise. After the dough has risen, it is shaped into individual rolls, which are then baked until golden brown.

Variations

There are many variations of the onion roll, depending on the region and personal preference. Some versions include additional ingredients such as cheese, garlic, or herbs. In some parts of the world, onion rolls are made with rye flour or whole wheat flour instead of white flour.

Serving

Onion rolls are often served warm, and can be used as a side dish with meals, or as the bread for sandwiches. They are also commonly served at breakfast, often with butter or cream cheese.
