This recipe has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. I always use this base recipe for all of my dinner roll recipes. It’s failproof. I caramelized the onions before adding it to the dough because I wanted softened onions.
You can serve these rolls with a bowl of pasta or make some sliders. These onion rolls are incredibly soft and airy. I can’t wait for you to try them.
The easiest and softest dough ever.
Slather some butter on top for extra yumminess.
