2 cups warm water
In a bread bowl, pour warm water. Add sugar, but do
not stir. Slowly sprinkle yeast into the water, making sure each
particle gets wet. Again, do not stir. Wait 10
minutes until the yeast is
thick and foamy.
1 medium yellow onion,
finely chopped
While you are waiting, saute the onions in butter
until they start to brown. Set aside to cool.
1 cup bread four
Add the following to your bread bowl, stirring well
between each addition: eggs, salt, sugar, flour, melted shortening,
chives and sauteed onions. 6-7 cups flour Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time, slowly, to make a moderately soft dough. After the 6th cup, add very small amounts at a time. Make sure that the dough has a light coating of flour before turning it out. Knead with dough hook until smooth and elastic: 10-12 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease the
top, cover, allow to rise until double in a warm, draft-free place:
1 1/2 hours.
Cut into 24-30 pieces to make dinner rolls. Place on
parchment paper in a warm, draft-free place until double in bulk: 30
minutes. Place baking stone in
oven and preheat over to 400
degrees.
1 egg Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake on for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Turn half-way through if necessary for even browning. |
