Garlic-Onion Buns

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp. quick-rising yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 to 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • Garnish: butter or olive oil
  • 4 bulbs garlic, tops cut off
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

Directions

  1. Place garlic cut-side up in a baking pan; drizzle with oil. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, until garlic is caramelized and starting to come out of its skins. Cool; squeeze garlic out of individual cloves.

  2. Heat water until very warm, about 110 to 115. In a large bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar; whisk together until dissolved. Add one cup flour; whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temp for 20 minutes, until bubbles appear on top.

  3. Add 2 cups flour, onions, salt and Roasted Garlic. Mix until doughy; add remaining flour if needed. On a floured surface, knead 3 to 4 times, until slightly elastic. Return dough to bowl. Cover with a warm moistened tea towel for about an hour, until dough nearly doubles in bulk.

  4. Cut into 8 pieces; place on a parchment paper-lined or greased baking sheet. Cover with tea towel; let rise another 30 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until golden. Let buns cool for 10 minutes; break open and serve with butter or oil.
