Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 4 cups flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup hot water
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup softened butter or margerine
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. paprika

Preparation:

Grease cookie sheet. In a large bowl dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Add 2 cups flour, salt, hot water, milk , butter and egg. With electric mixer, blend at low speed until moistened. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining flour to form soft dough. Cover and let rise until doubled — approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

For filling: Melt butter in saucepan and add remaining ingredients.

When dough has doubled in size, place on floured board and knead until no longer sticky. Roll out onto 18x12 inch rectangle. Spread filling on top, then cut lengthwise, using pizza cutter, into 3 (18x4 inch) strips. Roll each strip; sael edges and ends on the prepared scookie sheet. Braid the 3 rolls together. Shape either into a tight circle or make 2 short braids. Cover; let rise again for 45 to 60 minutes. Top with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on it. Bake at 350° F (175° C) for 30 to 35 minutes, until brown.
