Preparation

Grease cookie sheet.
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.

Blend at low speed until moistened, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
By hand, stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Cover: let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, (45-60 minutes).
While dough is rising, prepare filling by mixing melting 1/4 cu0 butter in saucepan. Add onion, parmesan cheese, sesame or poppy seeds, garlic salt and paprika and mix well; set aside.
Stir down dough. Toss on floured surface until no longer sticky.

Starting with the longer side, roll up each strip; seal edges and ends.
On a prepared cookie sheet, braid 3 rolls together. If making 2 loaves, repeat process.
Cover: let rise until doubled, about 40-60 minutes.
