Ingredients
ONIONS
- 5 large shallots (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
ROLLS
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed)
- 1 cup water (warmed)
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 2 eggs (room temp)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup butter (melted and divided)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 6 ¼ cups bread flour (750 grams)
- 8 ounces comte/gruyere cheese (2 cups, grated)
Instructions
Caramelizing Onions Instructions
- Slice shallots into very thin slices and chop into small pieces.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add finely chopped shallots, butter, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook until they start to turn brown then reduce to low and cook, stirring often until they are very soft, and golden brown, 20-30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Rolls Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine warm milk, warm water and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5-10 minutes. Whisk in eggs, sugar, ¼ cup melted butter and salt. Add flour, cheese and caramelized shallots. Using the paddle, beat at low speed until well combined, just about 1 minute. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Line 2 (9 inch) baking pans with cooking spray and parchment paper.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3-4 times to get the air bubbles out. Divide into 24 pieces and gently shape each into a ball. Place 12 balls in each prepared pan so that they are touching each other. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes. Or, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375º. Brush rolls with melted butter. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Cover with foil ½ way through to prevent over browning. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- If the yeast doesn't get foamy, start again with fresh yeast and make sure the water is not too warm.
- Make sure the melted butter is just warm and not hot or it will kill the yeast.
- Use room temperature eggs.
- If you need a warm place for the dough to rise, try heating up water in the microwave, then place the bowl of dough in the warm microwave.
- You can refrigerate overnight after forming into balls. Let them sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking.
- You can leave out the cheese and onions for a simple delicious yeast roll.
