Ingredients
- • All-purpose flour: 3 1/2 cups
- • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Instant yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • Whole milk: 3/4 cup, warmed
- • Large eggs: 3, room temperature
- • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- • Ground beef: 1/2 pound
- • Italian sausage (casings removed): 1/2 pound
- • Yellow onion: 1 large, diced
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Bacon: 6 slices, chopped
- • Balsamic vinegar: 2 tablespoons
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Water: 1/4 cup
- • Fresh thyme: 1 teaspoon, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the warmed milk and two of the eggs, mixing until a dough forms. Gradually incorporate the softened butter until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 3 While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until browned. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and cooked bacon. Allow to cool slightly before mixing in the cheddar cheese.
- 4 For the bacon onion jam, use the same skillet to cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove excess fat, then add the diced onion, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Simmer on low heat until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme.
- 5 Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 portions. Flatten each piece, fill with the meat mixture, and pinch the edges to seal. Place seam side down on a lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- 6 Beat the remaining egg and brush over the brioche bombs. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving with a generous spoonful of the bacon onion jam on top.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these Meaty Stuffed Brioche Bombs warm as an appetizer or pair them with a simple side salad for a satisfying meal. The richness of the brioche and the hearty filling are complemented beautifully by a crisp, refreshing beverage like a light lager or a sparkling apple cider. For an added touch of decadence, consider serving with a side of creamy coleslaw or a tangy pickle to cut through the richness and add a delightful crunch.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the brioche bombs in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes to restore the bread's softness and the filling's warmth. Avoid microwaving as it may make the bread soggy.
