Description

Milk Brioche Rolls are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread rolls enriched with butter, eggs, and milk. They have a light, airy texture with a rich, buttery flavor. Perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or as a side with soups and stews.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (7g) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, softened

For Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add warm milk and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  3. Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until it starts coming together.

Step 2: Incorporate Butter

  1. Add the softened butter gradually, kneading continuously until fully absorbed. Knead for another 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  2. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Cover and let the rolls proof for another 45 minutes until puffy.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush the tops with the egg wash for a shiny golden crust.
  3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success

✅ Use bread flour for extra chewiness and structure.
✅ Make ahead: You can refrigerate the dough overnight after the first rise for enhanced flavor.
✅ Room temperature ingredients: Ensure eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature for best texture.
✅ Enriched Dough Handling: Since brioche is a rich dough, kneading may take longer—be patient!
✅ Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
