Potato & Onion Sandwich Rolls

We make these rolls to go with turkey barbecue, but they're great for cold-cut sandwiches or just dinner rolls as well.

you'll need:

• 3/4 cup of warm milk
• 5 Tablespoons of warm water
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter
• 3 Tablespoons white sugar
• 1 yeast packet
• 1/4 cup dried minced onion or Onion Onion from Tastefully Simple
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 &1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup instant potato flakes
• 3 cups white flour (you can use whole grain if you want, but then you won't have that old school Dutchy potato roll taste :)
• cooking spray & corn meal
• optional: egg whites to brush on before baking and a few extra sprinkles of Onion Onion (makes em look like you bought em)

Mix the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, sugar and yeast in a bowl and let it stand about 10 minutes until its foamy.  Then add the onion powder, onion flakes, salt, potato flakes & flour and mix with a rubber spatula until your dough has a nice consistency.  Next, split your dough into 8 equal balls,  knead each by hand a few minutes, then shape into patties.  Place on a cookie sheet that's been sprayed and corn mealed, cover loosely with plastic wrap and a dish towel then let them rise until they double in size.  Brush with egg whites and sprinkle on additional seasonings in you want, then bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.  Allow to cool a few minutes, then slice :)
