Onion roll

Cookinero 17 Apr 2025

Onion roll baked in the oven is a lean pastry made from yeast dough. Due to the fact that a large amount of onion is used in the preparation of the filling, it turns out very juicy. This dish is an excellent addition to tea or any first course. It can also be used instead of bread. The recipe for an onion roll is quite simple. The main thing is that the dough rises well. To do this, it is important to use sealed yeast and pay attention to expiration dates.

How to cook Onion roll

Step 1

Onion roll

Knead the dough. Pour warm water into a deep bowl. Add sugar, vegetable oil and salt. Pour in the yeast. Stir. Gradually add flour, stirring constantly. Place the dough on a table sprinkled with flour. Knead for 5-6 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Cover with a clean towel and leave in a warm place for 1.5 hours.

Step 2

Onion roll

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Cut the onion into small cubes. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and put it on the fire. Put the onion in. Add salt, ground black pepper and stir. Fry until golden for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the filling to a clean bowl.

Onion roll - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but note that instant yeast doesn't need to be dissolved in water first—you can mix it directly with the flour.
Store cooled onion rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them (see freezing tips).
The recipe is already vegan as written, using vegetable oil and no animal products. Just confirm your yeast and sugar are vegan-friendly if following strict guidelines.
Yes! After kneading, cover the dough tightly and refrigerate overnight. Let it come to room temperature (about 1 hour) before rolling and baking.
Pair them with soup (like borscht or mushroom), a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables. They also work well as a side to grilled meats or stews.
Absolutely. Cool completely, wrap tightly in foil or plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warm.
Likely causes: expired yeast, water that was too hot (over 110°F), or a cold environment. Next time, test yeast freshness and ensure a warm, draft-free spot for rising.
Yes! Try grated cheddar, feta, or sautéed mushrooms with the onions. Add cheese sparingly to avoid a soggy dough.
