Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
8 ounces smoked Gruyere cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine egg, oil, minced onion, stone-ground mustard, ground mustard, onion powder, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Stir in cheese., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 18 balls, about 2 ounces each. Flatten each ball to a 4-in. circle. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with Dijon mustard; if desired, sprinkle with seeds. Bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely., Freeze option: Freeze cooled rolls in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each roll on high until heated through, 10-15 seconds.
