Description

Onion roll is a type of small bread highly valued in gastronomy, characterized by its soft texture and a delicate onion flavor that adds a special touch to various culinary preparations. These rolls are usually made with basic ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, and chopped or powdered onion, which is mixed directly into the dough or sprinkled on top before baking.

The origin of the onion roll is found mainly in traditional European baking, although today it is common to find and prepare it in different Spanish-speaking regions, especially in countries where onion is a staple ingredient in home cooking.

From a nutritional point of view, the onion roll mainly provides complex carbohydrates, in addition to the fiber content and certain minerals provided by the onion, such as potassium and natural antioxidants. It may also contain small amounts of B and C vitamins, contributed by the onion, which aid digestion and have anti-inflammatory properties.

In several Latin American countries, the onion roll may be known by other names depending on the region, such as onion bolillo, onion bread, or simply flavored roll. However, the term "onion roll" is widely understood and used in the culinary world to refer to this delicious variant of small bread with a distinctive flavor.

This ingredient is ideal for accompanying meals, preparing sandwiches, or serving as a base for canapés and appetizers, providing a unique and attractive flavor to any dish.
