Ingredients
•
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
•
5 tablespoons lukewarm water
•
3 tablespoons butter, softened
•
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
•
3 tablespoons white sugar
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
•
1/4 cup instant potato flakes
•
3 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast

1/4 cup dried minced onion
Directions
1
Place milk, water, butter, salt, sugar, onion powder, 3 tablespoons dried onion, potato flakes, flour, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in that order, or follow the order recommended by the manufacturer if different. Select the Dough cycle and press Start.
2
When the cycle has completed, remove dough from the machine and knead on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 equal pieces and form into balls. Gently flatten the balls until they are 4 inches in diameter. If they keep shrinking back, just let them relax for a minute before flattening. Place on a baking sheet and cover loosely with a towel. Set in a draft-free place to rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Whisk together egg white and water in a cup. Brush over the tops of the risen rolls and sprinkle with 1/4 cup minced onion.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
6
Cool completely then slice in half horizontally before using.
