Question
Hello, Honorable Rabbi, Is Pat Haba'a Bekisnin, kneaded with salty spices like onion powder or garlic powder, and the taste of the spice is noticeable in the pastry, blessed as Mezonot according to the Shulchan Aruch? Or is it only when kneaded with sweet ingredients like honey, sugar, oil... With blessings and thanks
Answer
Hello,
There is no difference between sweet or salty spices or other flavors.
The rule is that when the taste of the spice is well noticeable, and the seasoning is in an amount not typically used in regular bread intended for satiation, its blessing is Mezonot.

It is said to be dough mixed with honey or oil or milk or types of spices and baked, and the taste of the fruit juice or spice mixture is noticeable in the dough
Mishna Berura, Siman 168, Seif Katan 30
And bread that has saffron added for taste and beauty, or that has a little raisins added, is considered complete bread by all opinions.
