   From The Bread Book by Lena Sturges.  Dissolve yeast
   in water.  Heat milk until almost simmering.  Into
   large bowl measure sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, 2
   Tbsp instant minced onion and shortening.  Stir in
   milk until sugar dissolves and shortening melts.  Cool
   to lukewarm. Stir in about 2 cups flour and beat until
   smooth.  Beat in yeast. Stir in enough additional
   flour to make a moderately stiff dough.
       Onto lightly floured surface, turn out dough and
   kenad until smooth and satiny, 5 to 8 minutes.  Shape
   into ball and place in lightly greased bowl, turning
   to grease all sides.  Cover and let rise in warm place
   until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.  Punch down. Divide
   dough into 2 equal portions; shape into balls.  Let
   rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grease two large baking
   sheets.
       Roll or pat each half of dough into a 9-inch
   square.  Using sharp knife, cut each into 9 squares.
   Tuck corners under to form buns. Place on baking sheet
   and flatten with palm of hand.  Let rise in warm place
   until doubled, about 30 minutes.  Combine 2 Tbsp
   instant minced onion and 1/4 cup water; allow to stand
   5 minutes.  Just before baking, sprinkle buns with
   onion and poppy seeds, 25 to 30 minutes or until
   golden brown. Yield: 18 sandwich buns.
