Onion Lover's Twist

1 pkg dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg

Filling:

1/4 cup butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp sesame or poppy seed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika

Grease a cookie sheet. In a large bowl dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, water, milk, butter and egg. With electric mixer, blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size, about 45 - 60 minutes.

To prepare filling, melt butter in saucepan and add remaining ingredients.

When dough has doubled in size, stir down and place on a floured board. Knead until no longer sticky. Roll out to an 18 by 12 inch rectangle. Spread with filling, then cut lengthwise into three 18 x 4 inch strips. Beginning with the long side, roll up each strip, sealing the edges and ends. On the cookie sheet braid the three rolls together. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 45 - 60 minutes. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
