Prepare Buns
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine three cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
-
Heat soy milk, water, and oil until warm, and add to flour mixture.
-
Add mustard, minced onion, and egg. Blend at low speed until moistened.
-
Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Continue kneading for five to seven minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top, and cover. Let rise for 50 minutes, or until doubled.
-
Punch down dough and divide into three parts. Divide each third into six pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball, tucking ends under.
-
Cover; let rise until doubled, about 20–30 minutes.
-
Halfway through rising time, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
While rolls are rising, combine boiling water and three tablespoons minced onion for topping, and let stand.
-
Combine onion mixture with slightly beaten egg. Brush tops of rolls with the mixture, scooping up onion as you do so. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
Note:
If using a significant amount of flour, don't forget to do hafrashat challa.
For information about taking challa, see this article http://www.kosher.com/lifestyle/article/17/all-about-hafrashas-challah
Variation:
These buns have a mild mustard flavor. If you prefer a more dominant flavor, use two tablespoons mustard.
