Onion Sandwich Buns

Directions

Mix hot water and syrup.

Sprinkle yeast into water and let “proof” while preparing onions.

Sauté onions in oil until golden, 5 to 7 minutes, sitrring frequently.

Stir in yeast mixture, then all of the remaining ingredients.

Knead 5 to 8 minutes; place in greased, covered bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1½ hours.

Punch down.

Divide into 18 balls and flatten each ball to a 4-inch circle.

Place on lightly greased pans.

Let rise 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Lightly brush tops with oil and sprinkle with seeds, if desired.

Bake 20 to 30 minutes.
