7 steps
Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Then, add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Ensure water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.Knead the Dough
Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
A warm, draft-free area works best for rising.Shape the Bialys
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round, then create a depression in the center.
Don’t flatten the edges to keep them thick and chewy.Fill and Top
In each depression, place a spoonful of chopped onions and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Optionally brush with egg wash.
Use finely chopped onions for better flavor distribution.Second Rise
Cover the shaped bialys and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven during this time to 425°F (220°C).Bake
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
