   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         bialys:
   1000           grams  bread flour -- all-purpose or tipo 00 flour, (7.5C)
   20             grams  kosher salt -- (5 tsp)
   4              grams  instant yeast -- (1 tsp) *see notes
   3               cups  water -- **see notes
                         filling:
   2        tablespoons  olive oil -- or neutral oil (grapeseed, canola, etc.)
   2              small  onions -- diced
                         kosher salt -- to taste
      1/4           cup  fresh bread crumbs
   1         tablespoon  poppy seeds -- plus more for sprinkling

Notes: You don't have to make these bialys using the no-knead, long, 
slow rise method. If you want to make them in the same day, increase 
the yeast to 2 teaspoons, and decrease the water to 2 3/4 cups. Knead 
the dough by hand or in a mixer until smooth and elastic. Let it rise 
for two hours, then proceed with the recipe. Also, Krebs recommends 
using a high-protein flour. For the Lahey dough and for these bialys, 
I am partial to tipo 00 flour.

Whisk the flour, salt and yeast together. Add the water. Stir with a 
wooden spoon until combined, then knead gently with your hands to 
make sure all of the flour is incorporated. The dough should stick to 
your hands.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at 
least 12 hours. When dough has risen, remove plastic wrap, and turn 
dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Portion dough into 90g pieces.

Using lightly floured hands or enough flour to keep dough from 
sticking to you and your work surface, shape each portion into a 
ball. Cover balls with plastic wrap, then let rest for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, place a baking stone or Baking Steel in your oven. It's OK 
if you don't have one. Preheat oven to 450F if you're using a stone 
or Steel, otherwise, preheat to 500F.

Heat the oil over medium or low heat. Add onion and saute slowly 
until translucent. Add a pinch of salt. Continue to cook until onion 
is only slightly brown ... better to err on the side of underdone 
because the onions burn quickly once they are in the oven. Add 
breadcrumbs and poppy seeds to the pan. Stir to combine. Set aside

Shape your bialys into 5" rounds with a raised rim and thin center: I 
do this by first punching down in the center of each dough ball when 
it is resting on my work surface. Then I lift up the round and with 
my thumbs in the center of the dough, I gently stretch the dough out 
so that the center begins looking paper thin, while the rim stays 
ballooned. It will take a little practice getting your shaping 
technique/method down, but the truth is that it doesn't really matter 
unless you are looking for that really traditional bialy shape - they 
will taste delicious regardless of the shape.

After shaping each one, place it on a parchment-lined baking peel. 
When you have five or six on your peel, brush each ball lightly with 
water. Sprinkle sides with extra poppy seeds. Spoon filling into 
center or scatter it over the top of each. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes 
depending on oven, baking vessel, etc.

When lightly golden, remove bialys from oven, let cool on wire rack 
and repeat baking process with remaining dough balls.
