"This is it! I've been through many
recipes to come up with this one. Great for BBQ beef
sandwiches. If you prefer plain rolls, omit onion ingredients."

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

(.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast

1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup dried minced

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
Place the milk,
water, butter, salt, sugar, onion powder, 3 tablespoons of dried onion, potato
flakes, flour and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order
recommended by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle, and press Start.
When the cycle has
completed, remove the 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.
Preheat the oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together the egg white and water in a cup.
Brush over the tops of the risen rolls, and sprinkle with remaining minced
onion.
Bake for 15 to 20
minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool completely, then slice in half horizontally before using.
