Recipe source: Martha Stewart Living Ingredients:
1 cup butter, divided (2 sticks) |
1 tablespoon yeast (1 envelope) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 tablespoons warm water |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 egg, beaten |
2 3/4 cups flour, plus |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 teaspoons oil |
2 lbs onions |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
2. Butter a large bowl and set aside.
3. In a small bowl combine yeast, sugar and water. Let mixture stand 5 minutes or until foamy and then stir until dissolved. Stir in buttermilk and egg.
4. In a large mixing bowl combine 2 1/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in buttermilk/yeast mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in 6 tablespoons softened butter and mix on medium high speed using dough hooks on an electric mixer for 10 minutes or mix by hand with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
5. Put dough on a floured board and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Knead until smooth (5 minutes).
6. Transfer dough to the buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap and/or a damp towel. Let rise until double (1 hour).
7. Slice 1 1/2 pound of the onions into 1/4-inch slices and chop the remaining 1/2 pound onions.
8. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add onions, raise heat to high, and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Remove from heat. Stir in nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool.
9. Punch down dough and turn onto a floured board. Roll dough into a 17x10-inch rectangle and brush with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Spread onions over dough.
10. Starting at one long edge, roll dough into a log, pressing seam to seal.
11. Cut into 12 slices.
12. Arrange slices, cut side up, in the prepared pan and brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
13. Preheat oven to 375°F.
14. Bake rolls for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
