After seeing the onion version of cinnamon rolls on here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/OnionLovers/s/I4GuC9XHhU ) a few months ago I decided to give them a try.

Used 6lbs of onions and Claire Saffitz cinnamon roll recipe for the dough (I used 18g of sugar in the dough instead of 50g). I added fresh thyme and replaced the cold water with cold beef stock in the dough recipe.

For the onions I deglazed a couple times at the end with bourbon and added beef stock before reducing to try and get to a spreadable finishing state (took five hours total but for a big portion go that it was lid on just getting the water out of the onions while I was prepping other things).

After rolling out dough I spread a layer of garlic and thyme compound butter and topped with most of the onions. Topped the onion mix with a combo of gruyere, gouda, and chopped parsley then rolled it tight. Sliced and put in pan I added the rest of onion to the top with a bit more cheese and parsley.

Greased aluminum foil on the underside and cover tightly before putting it in a 350° oven for 15min. Uncover and let go another 15-18min depending on how it looks.

    Some of yall are so creative. This is amazing. I wanna see someone do French onion pizza, or maybe stuffed French onion pizza crust (I can’t do pizza well otherwise I would try myself). Looks delicious and I’m jealous!
