Blessings - Bread Filled with Fried Onions

Question

I took regular challah dough, rolled it out, placed fried onions on it, and rolled it up like a rugelach. Is it 'hamotzi' or 'mezonot'? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello and happy Purim

If the onions and oil provide a strong flavor, the blessing is 'mezonot'.

If it is just a seasoning for the bread, the blessing is 'hamotzi'.
