Mrs. Peltz'S Onion Flat Rolls (Pletzlach)

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons yeast (2 packets)
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus 2 teaspoons)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1. Place flour in bowl of an electric mixer with dough paddle attached. Make a well in center and pour in 1 cup lukewarm water. Stir in yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar, and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Add egg, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, remaining sugar and the salt. Mix well until dough is soft but not sticky, adding flour if necessary. Turn into a greased bowl, and let rise again, covered, for one hour. Knead lightly, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place diced onion in a small bowl, and stir in poppy seeds and remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Set aside.
4. Divide dough into 20 balls. On a floured board, roll each ball into a circle about 2 or 3 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of onion-poppy seed mixture on each circle. Roll circles again, to a thickness of about 1/8 of an inch. Prick each circle with a fork and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
