Onion Buns

In a large mixer bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour and yeast. Heat together milk, sugar 2 tablespoons onion, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour very warm, but not hot, liquid into flour and beat with mixer for about 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough of remaining flour to make a stiff dough.

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise until double. Punch dough down and divide in half. Let rest briefly, then form each portion into 9 balls. Flatten on greased baking sheets in about 3 1/2-inch circles.

Let rise until double. Combine 2 tablespoons minced onion with 1/4 cup water and let stand for 5 minutes. Beat egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush rolls with egg; sprinkle with onions. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until done.
