minutes,
adding flour as needed. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.

let rise in warm place about 40 minutes (20 minutes for Quick Rise yeast).

Prepare onion topping. In small skillet, saut‚,onion in butter until soft.
Stir in 1/3 t. sugar and 1/8 t. salt.

Punch down dough. On lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball.
Place
on greased cookie sheet. Flatten to a 10-inch circle. With table knife, cut
a
circle in dough about 1 inch from edge, cutting almost through to cookie
sheet. Prick center with a fork. Spread Onion Topping over the pricked
dough.
Cover; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes (15 minutes for Quick Rise).
Bake at 375 deg. for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

design with a sharp knife. Brush bread with an egg glaze made by combining
1
egg yolk and 1 T. milk or water. Sprinkle with sesame seed if desired.
