Onion Poppy Seed Buns
You will need to use your Dough Cycle in your bread machine for this recipe
Dough
1 cup lukewarm water
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp onion powder
2 Tbsp minced dried onion flakes
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
3 1/4 cups all Purpose Flour
2 tbsp butter, softened
Topping
2 tbsp minced dried onion flakes, soaked in 3 tbsp of warm water
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a measuring cup and mix well.Add mixed ingredients to a bread machine.Add flour to bread machine.Add softened butter to top of flour.Select DOUGH CYCLE on bread machine and press START.After a few minutes of mixing, adjust the dough by adding a little water or flour until the dough is just slightly tacky. Allow the bread machine to complete its dough kneading cycle.When kneading ends, allow dough to rise for about an hour in the bread machine until the dough is doubled in size.
While the dough is rising for the first time, combine the Topping onion flakes with warm water and allow the onion flakes to soften. Set aside till needed.
After dough has doubled, remove the dough from the bread machine. Divide the dough into 8 equal size pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place the dough ball on a lightly greased baking sheet, flatten to about a 3" across disc. Each disc should be a couple inches apart to allow for rising.
Sprinkle the dough discs evenly with the softened onion flakes and press the onions into the dough surface. Sprinkle dough discs evenly with the poppy seeds.Cover with plastic wrap loosely (or mist with non-stick cooking spray) to prevent dough drying out, and let rise for about an hour, until dough is puffy and doubled in size. Remove plastic wrap before baking.Bake at 350 degree till golden brown and the center of each bun reaches 190-F. About 30 minutes. Makes 8 buns
