    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          Dough:
    3               cups  Sir Lancelot High-Gluten Flour -- NOTE
    1           teaspoon  instant yeast
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    1                cup  lukewarm water -- plus
    2        tablespoons  lukewarm water
                          Filling:
    2              large  onions -- med - lg, peeled and finely diced
       7/8         ounce  vegetable oil -- or olive oil
       1/8      teaspoon  salt -- heaping

Hands-on time:
20 mins. to 30 mins.
Baking time:
11 mins. to 12 mins.
Total time:
2 hrs 1 mins. to 2 hrs 12 mins.

Place the dough ingredients in a bowl, and mix and knead - by hand, 
mixer, or bread machine - for about 7 minutes, till you've made a 
smooth, fairly stiff dough.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or other rising container, 
cover it, and allow it to rise for about 90 minutes, till it's just 
about doubled in bulk.

While the dough is rising, make the filling. Fry the diced onion in 
the oil over high heat; it'll brown very quickly, so stir often. Fry 
till it's a dark golden brown, with even darker charred bits. 
Sprinkle with the salt, stir to combine, and remove from the heat. 
Transfer to a small bowl to cool.

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape four of 
the pieces into 4" to 5" circles, each with a small rim. (Keep the 
remaining pieces of dough covered.

Place the shaped circles on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.

Use a sharp knife or pair of scissors to snip a 1" hole in the bottom 
of each bialy.

Evenly spread the filling into the center of each bialy, the part 
defined by the rimmed edge.

Top the bialys with a sheet of parchment or aluminum foil; then with 
another baking sheet. You want to weigh them down

Bake the bialys for 4 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and remove 
the baking sheet and parchment or foil.

Return the bialys to the oven, and bake for an additional 7 minutes, 
till they're a dappled golden brown.

Remove from the oven, and cool on a rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Yield: 8 large bialys.

NOTE:  This is a great place to use your high-gluten flour; it'll 
yield beautifully chewy bialys. Substitute unbleached bread or 
all-purpose flour if you like; cut the water back by about 2 
tablespoons if you use bread flour, 3 tablespoons for all-purpose.
