Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

3. Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the bowl with the flour and sugar. Stir the mixture to form a dough.

Step 4

4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

6. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Step 7

7. Remove the onions from the heat and stir in the poppy seeds and ground black pepper. Allow the mixture to cool.

Step 8

8. Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

9. Punch down the dough to remove excess air and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 10

10. Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 4 inches in diameter, leaving a slight indentation in the center.

Step 11

11. Place a heaping tablespoon of onion filling into the indentation in each bialy.

Step 12

12. Transfer the bialys onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 13

13. Bake the bialys in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Step 14

14. Remove the bialys from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Step 15

15. Serve warm or at room temperature as is, or with your favorite low-sodium spread.
