Brioche for a savoury recipe
When we make brioche, it is generally sweet, that is to say that in the dough there is sugar or honey or dried or candied fruits, or even sometimes the 3 together.
It's normal, it's very good, it's a pastry.
But you may also need brioche for a savoury dish, like a sausage or a sausage in brioche for example.

Brioche for a savoury recipe
Of course, if you like sweet and savory dishes, you're probably thinking "Yes, but so what?" No problem, we take classic brioche dough (sweetened, that is) and form the brioche that will hold the sausage. The salty flavour of the sausage goes very well with the sweetness of the brioche. D'accord.
On the other hand, if you don't like the sweet-savory side, like me for example, you're not going to like it too much: OK, the softness of the brioche is there, but the honey-sugar side, with the sausage, well...
Well, the best thing to do in this case would be to make brioche dough without sugar, to get a sort of salty brioche, more in keeping with the sausage.
It's tempting, but it would be a mistake, because without sugar the brioche still puffs up, but less well, and above all it doesn't color, despite the gilding.
In other words, you'll end up with a whitish brioche, not bad either, but not very appetizing.
So what do you do?
You have to cut the pear in 2 and put "half-sugar", i.e. you look at the amount of sugar your recipe calls for, imagine 100 gr, you divide this weight by 2 and it's only these 50 gr that you'll use in your recipe. In this way, your brioche will puff up and turn golden, but its taste will be in keeping with the savoury part of your recipe, the sugar being almost "invisible".
In short: For a brioche recipe in a savoury dish, divide the initial weight of sugar by 2.

The importance of sieving
In recipes that use a fine powder (flour, powdered sugar, etc.), you'll often see the advice to sift before using it.
