Ingredients for Soft and Milk Brioche Rolls

Here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful rolls:

• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast: Helps the dough rise beautifully.
• 1 tsp salt: Balances the flavors.
• 4 large eggs, room temperature: Adds richness and structure.
• 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F): Activates the yeast and keeps the dough soft.
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened: Adds the signature buttery flavor.
• 1 egg, beaten: For brushing the rolls and giving them a golden crust.

Tools You’ll Need

• A large mixing bowl
• Stand mixer (optional but handy for kneading)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel
• Baking sheet
• Pastry brush

How to Make Soft and Milk Brioche Rolls

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the eggs and warm milk. The dough will start to come together but remain shaggy at this stage.

Step 3: Incorporate the Butter

Gradually add the softened butter, mixing thoroughly after each addition. This step ensures a rich and tender dough.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes or with a stand mixer for 5–6 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

Step 5: First Rise

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6: Shape the Rolls

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7: Second Rise

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.

Step 8: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with beaten egg for that irresistible golden crust. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tips for Perfect Brioce Rolls

1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smooth dough.
2. Kneading is Key: Proper kneading develops the gluten, giving your rolls their structure.
3. Warm Environment: Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for the best results.

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are incredibly versatile:

• Spread with butter, jam, or honey for breakfast.
• Use as slider buns for savory fillings.
• Serve alongside soups, stews, or roasted meats.

How to Store Soft and Milk Brioche Rolls

• At Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• In the Freezer: Wrap individually in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?

Yes! Just activate the yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar for 5–10 minutes before mixing it with the other ingredients.

Why is my dough sticky?

Brioche dough is naturally softer and slightly sticky due to the butter and eggs. Resist the urge to add too much flour, as this will dry out the rolls.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely! After the first rise, cover the dough tightly and refrigerate overnight. Shape and bake the rolls the next day.
