Caraway seeds give these rye dinner rolls a delicate nutty flavor. Denser than most, these onion-infused buns are ideal for dipping in hearty holiday stews. —Deborah Maki, Kamloops, British Columbia

Yield
1-1/2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups rye flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- EGG WASH:
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons water
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix first 5 ingredients and 1 cup flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk, water, butter and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Stir in onion and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide and shape into 18 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over rolls. Bake until lightly browned, 11-14 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
