Yesterday I made a batch of these spicy onion garlic brioche buns and they turned out heavenly! I found them on Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker when I was searching for a natural way to heal and sooth the flu. Read more They also made great hamburger buns for my kids!

Ingredients
- --For the Sponge:-- shopping list
- 1 ounce instant yeast shopping list
- ½ cup milk, warm (not hot! Don’t kill the yeast!) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon honey shopping list
- 5 ounces bread flour shopping list
- --For the Brioche Dough:-- shopping list
- 2 tablespoons honey shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt (and extra sea salt for sprinkling on top) shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1 pound all purpose flour shopping list
- 1 stick butter, soft and cut into small pieces shopping list
- 1 tablespoon cayenne shopping list
- 1 small onion diced shopping list
- 4 cloves garlic minced shopping list
- 1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
- egg wash (1 egg beaten with a tablespoon of water) shopping list
How to make it
- --Procedure for the sponge --
- Bloom the yeast with the warm milk and honey in the bowl of an electric mixer until it’s nice and bubbley (or bublé, as I like to say). Add flour and with the dough hook attachment, mix until the sponge is soft and smooth. Sray with non-stick spray and cover with a damp towel. Put in a warm place and allow to double in size.
- -- Procedure for Brioche Dough --
- Sauté onion and garlic with a tablespoon of olive oil until softened and translucent. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and the honey. Pour the egg mixture and the salt into the bowl with the sponge and start the mixer on low. Slowly add the flour and cayenne. Once you’ve finished adding the flour, slowly add the butter and cooled onion and garlic mixture. Add butter one small knob at a time until all the butter is completely mixed in and the dough is shiny and is not longer sticking to the sides of the bowl.
- Spray the dough with nonstick spray, cover with a moist towel and allow to double in size in a warm space.
- -- Baking the Brioche --
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Once the dough has doubled, punch the dough down and divide the dough into 10 even pieces. Roll each piece into a firm ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow the rolls to rest and rise slightly, not exactly double in size.
- Brush the rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown .
- -- Alternative --
- Divide the dough in half and make a large braided loaf.
- Roll each half into a long rope. Cross the two ropes into an X. I start twisting from the middle otherwise the loaf gets lopsided. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes more than you would the rolls.
