Onion roll

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake homemade onion roll? Prepare all the ingredients for the filling. Remove kefir, cream and eggs from the refrigerator in advance. They should be at room temperature. Peel the onion and chop into small cubes. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan with low sides. Read about how to choose a frying pan, as well as how to choose the right oil, in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Fry the onion until soft. It took me about 10 minutes

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour cream into the onion. Season with salt and add smoked paprika. Stir everything and simmer for about 10 minutes. Read more about using cream in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Once the excess liquid has evaporated, add dried herbs to the filling, stir and turn off the heat. The onion filling must cool completely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the dough. Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the finished roll more airy. Pour dry yeast into kefir at room temperature. Read about all the intricacies of working with yeast in a separate article (link at the end of the recipe). Pour in the cream, add a pinch of salt and sugar. Mix everything until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add egg whites. Mix the mixture thoroughly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add to the flour in parts, stirring the mixture well each time. You can add flour, sifting it a second time. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need a little more or a little less. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   Knead elastic dough. As a result, it should not stick to your hands. Then you can immediately start rolling out, but I recommend covering the dough with a towel and letting it rest for 10-15 minutes. Turn on the oven at 200 degrees.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll out the “rested” dough into a layer about 3 mm thick.

9. STEP 9

   

   Spread the onion filling evenly over the dough, leaving a little space from the edges.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the onion with finely grated cheese.

11. STEP 11

    

    Fold the two opposite edges inward.

12. STEP 12

    

    Carefully roll up the roll.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the roll in a greased pan. Using a pastry brush, brush the roll with egg yolk and sprinkle with flaxseeds and sesame seeds if desired. Bake the onion roll in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, the link is at the end of the recipe. Remove the finished roll from the oven, judge a little and serve. Bon appetit!

I made an onion roll for tea. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be so delicious! The dough turned out very soft, the filling was tender, the onion goes well with the cheese. For the dough I used about 350 grams of flour. I used whites from C1 category eggs. The dough turned out elastic, pliable, soft. For the filling I took two large onions. I used cream with a fat content of 10 percent. The spices I added were nutmeg and coriander. Before baking, I sprinkled the roll with flax seeds. The roll turned out very tasty. Thank you very much for the recipe!
