Soft and airy, these No-Knead Onion Rolls are the perfect addition to any dinner or lunch menu. It couldn’t be easier than making the dough, letting it rise and shaping into balls for the oven. They make perfect slider buns too.
I always need a quick and easy recipe for rolls. I love the fact that there is absolutely no-kneading required with this dough. Rolling them into balls for the oven will be the most amount of work you really have to do…other than mixing.
I’m a real sucker for easy bread recipes. Have you tried my Easy Artisan Roasted Garlic-Rosemary Bread or my Easy Artisan Bacon and Cheese Bread? I’ve literally made these two breads hundreds of times and they always turn out perfect. And they’re delicious.
Thank goodness these No-Knead Onion Rolls are so easy to throw together because today is an exciting day! We are finally bringing in the first of our Pinot Noir grapes for harvest. We have been able to hold off picking until now, and have been on red alert so many days before…thank you mother nature.
We had a very cool season this past year but things have shaped up nicely. We truly feel 2011 will make some incredible wine, but with rain in the forecast for this afternoon, today is the day to bring it in. The rest of the day will be spent carefully sorting fruit and celebrating the bounty of the season. So much to be grateful for.
But right now, all I can think about are these luscious, simple to make rolls. What an addition to dinner they are; soft and airy, kind of like those King’s Hawaiian rolls. They are always gobbled up quickly and rightfully so. Beautiful and appetizing looking too….and taste fantastic! What more could you want. I make these in my favorite baking pan (which is also the best pan to bake brownies without edges).
All I can say is make these…soon. I have to run, the grapes are calling. It truly is the best time of year!!

No-Knead Onion Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- kosher salt
- 2 (0.25 oz) packages active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 6 Tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for shaping the dough
- 6 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for shaping the dough
Directions
- Heat 2 Tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Place 2 cups warm tap water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F) in a large bowl; sprinkle with the yeast and let stand until foamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs, 4 Tablespoons of the butter, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the flour and three-quarters of the onions and mix until a sticky dough forms. Brush the top of the dough with the remaining tablespoon of oil . Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Butter a 13 x 9 baking pan. Punch the dough down. With well-floured hands, form the dough into 16 balls and place in the prepared pan, spacing evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining quarter of the onions. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and brush the dough with the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter. Bake until the rolls are golden, 18 to 22 minutes (tent with foil if tops brown to quickly-I did). Cool in the pan for five minutes before serving.
