Delight in these soft and flavorful onion butter rolls, perfect for any meal.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until tender but not browned.
Ensure the onions are evenly cooked for a consistent flavor.
Reserve a portion of the sautéed onion for topping and let the rest cool.
Cooling the onion prevents it from affecting the dough texture.
Add the cooled onion mixture and remaining dough ingredients to the bread machine. Select the Dough setting and start.
Follow the bread machine's instructions for best results.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into equal portions.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Shape each portion into a ball, flatten slightly, and place on a greased baking sheet.
Ensure even spacing to allow the rolls to rise properly.
Brush the rolls with beaten egg mixed with salt and top with reserved onion.
The egg wash gives the rolls a shiny, golden finish.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Cool the rolls on a wire rack before serving.
Cooling helps the rolls set and enhances their texture.
