Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a rectangular baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a small pan, sauté the finely chopped onion in a little olive oil until soft and slightly sweet. Let cool.
- Divide the risen dough into equal rolls and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the sautéed onions and sesame seeds evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Brush lightly with olive oil while warm, allow to cool slightly, then serve.
Notes
- Allow the dough to rise fully for the fluffiest texture.
- Lightly toast sesame seeds beforehand for a deeper nutty flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes for best texture.
