Ingredients

For the Dough:

1 ¼ cup warm milk (110℉), I use whole milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast (quick-rise yeast)
1 tablespoon salted butter melted
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ cups chopped white onion
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh dill *
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 clove fresh garlic (minced or pressed)
2 tablespoons salted butter (softened to room temperature)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and melted butter until incorporated.
1 ¼ cup warm milk, 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast, 1 tablespoon salted butter
Add about 2 ½ cups of flour to start and fold in with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding the remaining ¼ cup of flour until a smooth and soft dough forms. Place into a floured or oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
While the dough is rising, begin cooking the chopped onion with 2 tablespoons of butter, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Cover to allow the onions to sweat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes until the onions are golden brown. They will reduce quite a bit.
2 tablespoons salted butter, 1 ½ cups chopped white onion , ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Add the chopped fresh dill, onion powder, and minced fresh garlic and stir while cooking for 1 minute. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl and let cool for 10 minutes before folding in 2 tablespoons of softened butter.
¼ cup chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 clove fresh garlic, 2 tablespoons salted butter
Once the dough has risen, punch down and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16"X12". Spread the mostly cooled onion and dill mixture evenly onto the dough.
Roll the dough up tightly in a log and slice into 15 rolls using a sharp knife or unfavored dental floss. Arrange in a buttered baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375℉.
Once risen, bake in the preheated oven for 15-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
