Last night, after I formed the loaf for the Sesame Triple Threat and set it aside to proof, I realized it was still early and decided to make another batch of dough. To this one I added 20g of dried minced onion, which results in more of an aroma of onion than an actual flavor.
I didn't get much rise out of the dough overnight, though. I went ahead and divided the dough into 100g rolls anyway, formed each one up and let them proof on the sheet pan. They didn't proof much either.
Once in the oven, they poofed up nicely. They were still a bit dense, and even a bit doughy, but they turned out delicious.

Well done and happy baking
Sesame and onions go well together. How about toasted sesame oil, green onions and more sesame seeds next time?
Now you're talking! I put toasted sesame oil in a loaf made the same day, and it was good, but I overcooked the loaf and so the outside sesame was a little too toasty. I added it to another loaf (baked this morning) and it was much better.
Green onion would be interesting!
jess - i definitely need to make these. if i added 2 tbsp each of flax seed, wheat bran & wheat germ to the mix would that effect the hydration of the dough?
pal - i love the sesame oil, green onion & addt'l sesame seed idea.
thanks, claudia
I'm not an expert on mix-ins, so couldn't really speak to what impact it would have on hydration.
