Onion Sandwich Buns Recipe

Do you remember the Desi Burger chat I made a week back? I got some great feedback regarding the bun I used in that recipe. I mentioned that I will be posting the recipe soon. And here it is. A delicious flavourful bun which can be used for sandwiches and burgers. Usually onions give a nice sweet flavour in baked goodies. So when I saw the recipe at KAF I tried it immediately.

The original recipe used dried onion flakes, but I didn’t have any. And when I was reading through the comments in their site, I saw that many used fresh chopped onions with great results. So even I used it in the recipe. When the buns were in the oven, my house was smelling so good. The combination of the yeasty smell and the baking onions made it heaven. And we couldn’t wait until they were cool. When tasted warm, they were wonderful. I had to hide it from hubby so that I can use it for the chat. But still he found out and ate one.

I had just three left out of eight and the next day I made the chat immediately for the fear of losing all. So you can understand how tasty it was. The bun’s crumb was so soft and so good and it toasted so well. But if you are planning for making sandwich or burger with these, make them when no one is at home and hide them fast before anyone comes home. Just saying!!
