Soft Onions Rolls And a Move into Uncharted Sourdough

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.  I know I was absent from posting, but I like you was enjoying the holidays.

As we move into the new year I plan to make and bake and cook and hopefully continue to make this blog a place you enjoy and will continue to visit.

This weeks post is mostly about these lovely Onion Rolls.  I went a searching and found a recipe on Allrecipes.com, Soft Onion Sandwich Rolls.

This recipe is a good base to work off of, as I was reading the comments several suggested to make sure you watched the dough in the machine as it needed more liquid to come together.  This was true for me too I had to add an additional 5 tablespoons of warm water to get this to come together into a nice soft dough. 

I also used bread flour not all purpose and added my usual 4 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten.

This dough was easy to shape into sandwich rolls.

Here are a couple shots of the finished rolls..

I have to admit we ate these rolls with our New Year's dinner of sausage and sauerkraut.  They are soft and chewy and not too oniony.
They will make a great sandwich tomorrow.

I am going to move into the world of sourdough starter and sourdough bread.  This has always intimidated me, but for the New Year I am giving it a shot. I will let everyone know of my progress.

Have a great week and please try these delicious rolls.
