Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sesame or 1 tablespoon poppy seed
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

Grease cookie sheet.
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add 2 cups flour, sugar, water, milk, butter, and egg.
Blend at low speed until moistened, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
By hand, stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Cover: let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, (45-60 minutes).
While dough is rising, prepare filling by mixing melting 1/4 cu0 butter in saucepan. Add onion, parmesan cheese, sesame or poppy seeds, garlic salt and paprika and mix well; set aside.
Stir down dough. Toss on floured surface until no longer sticky.
Roll out to an 18"x12" rectangle; spread with filling.
Cut lengthwise into 3 strips (18"x4" each), or for 2 loaves, cut into 9"x4" strips.
Starting with the longer side, roll up each strip; seal edges and ends.
On a prepared cookie sheet, braid 3 rolls together. If making 2 loaves, repeat process.
Cover: let rise until doubled, about 40-60 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or cool.
