2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 ½ cups finely chopped onions
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 loaf (16 oz.) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

Grease large baking sheet; set aside. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat until foamy. Add onions and paprika; cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cool.

Spray work surface with nonstick cooking spray. Roll thawed bread dough into 14 x 12 inch rectangle.

Spread onion mixture on one side of dough. Fold dough over onion mixture to make a 14 x 6 inch rectangle.

Pinch 14 inch side of dough to seal. Cut dough into 14 lengthwise strips.

Gently twist dough strip two times and place on prepared sheet. Press both ends of strip down on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining strips.

Cover with towel. Let twists rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Brush with egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
