BREAD INGREDIENTS:

1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. hot water
1/2 c. milk

1 egg

FILLING INGREDIENTS:

1/4 c. butter
1 c. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. sesame or poppy seed

Bread: Grease cookie sheet. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, water, milk, butter and eggs. Blend on low speed until moist. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add remaining flour and stir by hand, to form soft dough. Cover and let rise in warm place until double (45-60 minutes). Punch down dough and toss on a floured surface until no longer sticky.

Roll out to 18x12 inch rectangle. Spread with filling. Cut lengthwise into three 18x4 inch strips. Starting with 18 inch side, roll up each strip. Seal edges and ends. Braid the 3 rolls together on prepared cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until double (45-60 minutes). Bake at 350 degrees 30-35 minutes until golden.

Filling: Melt butter in saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and cook until onion is clear.
