Week of December 19th-23rd 2016

  • 2 Tablespoons butter

  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped onions

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 – 16 ounce loaf frozen bread dough, thawed

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 375. Grease large baking sheet. Melt butter in medium skillet until foamy. Add onions and paprika, cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Roll thawed dough out and cut into 14 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread onion mixture on half of dough. Fold dough over onion mixture to make a 14 x 6 inch rectangle. Pinch edge of dough to seal. Using pastry wheel, cut dough into 14 lengthwise dough strips. Twist each strip two times and place on baking sheet. Press down both side to pan. Cover with towel. Let rise in warm place until double in size, about 40 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. Serve immediately.
