Directions
In large mixer bowl, combine 1½ cup flour, yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt; mix well.
Add water and oil to flour mixture.
Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.

Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover; let rise in warm place about 40 minutes (20 minutes for Quick Rise yeast).
Prepare onion topping. In small skillet, sauté onion in butter until soft.
Stir in ⅓ teaspoon sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
Punch down dough.
On lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball. Place on greased cookie sheet.

With table knife, cut a circle in dough about 1 inch from edge, cutting almost through to cookie sheet.
Prick center with a fork.
Spread Onion Topping over the pricked dough.
Cover; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes (15 minutes for Quick Rise).
Bake at 375 deg. for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
