Onion Crescent Rolls Recipes

ONION CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
• Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of the onions.
• Roll up each one from the wide end and place on ungreased foil-lined sheet.
• Curve ends downward to make a crescent.
• Beat the egg and water together and brush over dough.
• Sprinkle with remaining onions.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or till golden.
• Serve warm.

CHEESY SKILLET CRESCENT ROLLS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe the skillet clean.
• On the wide end of each dough triangle, spoon a scant tablespoonful of caramelized onions and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon Swiss cheese. Starting at the wide end, gently roll up the dough around the filling; place in the skillet. There will be some space between each roll, but the rolls will puff up and come together when baked.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the rolls are golden and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

CRUNCHY ONION CRESCENT ROLLS

• In small bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth. Add bacon mixture, Cheddar cheese, parsley, paprika and caraway seed; mix well. Set aside.
• Separate dough into 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal.
• Spoon 1/4 of bacon mixture onto each rectangle; spread to within 1/2 inch from 1 long side.
• Roll up each rectangle, starting with topped long side and rolling to untopped side. Press edge to seal.

SESAME-ONION CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup warm water into small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over; stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes. Whisk remaining 3/4 cup warm water, lukewarm milk, 1 egg and sugar in large bowl to blend. Stir in yeast mixture. Add 3 cups flour and stir vigorously with wooden spoon until smooth thick batter forms, about 2 minutes. Cover bowl with kitchen towel; let rest 15 minutes.
• Stir 2 tablespoons oil and salt into batter. Using wooden spoon, mix in enough flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form firm and nearly smooth dough. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if dough is too sticky, about 10 minutes. Form dough into ball.
• Oil large bowl. Place dough in bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Punch down dough. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Divide dough in half. Knead each half into ball. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
• Using rolling pin, roll 1 dough ball to 14-inch round. Spread half of onions over, leaving 1-inch border. Cut dough round into 8 wedges. Starting at wide end of each wedge, roll up toward point. Place rolls on ungreased heavy large baking sheet, shaping into crescents and spacing evenly. Loosely cover rolls with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough ball and onions. Let rolls rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375°F.
• Brush rolls with egg glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until rolls are golden and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, switching top and bottom baking sheets halfway through baking, about 25 minutes. Transfer rolls to racks and cool. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cool completely. Wrap in foil; freeze. If desired, rewarm thawed wrapped rolls in 350°F oven about 10 minutes.)
