Has anyone tried onion rolls made from challah dough? My Lithuanian Bubbie made these at the same time as challah, and my brother and I would sneak them from the kitchen while they were cooling on Fridays. Saute a diced onion in oil (chicken schmaltz if you have the nerve) and let them cook till soft over a very low fire. Make flat rolls out of challah dough (think burger buns) and brush the tops of each with the onion/oil. Bake as for challah. Your kitchen will smell like heaven for days! Debbie Jo, that sounds wonderful! But I'm wondering, do the onions burn? That's always been my problem with onion rolls. I wonder if you took the challah dough and somehow folded some of the onions inside, baked most of the way, then brushed with oil/onions at the end, so they didn't blacken? PJH
