Milk Brioche Rolls 🍞🥛
Milk brioche rolls are soft, rich, slightly sweet bread rolls made with butter, eggs, and milk. They’re fluffy, tender, and perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or with butter and jam.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Activate the yeast
Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the dough
Add eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Add butter
Knead in softened butter gradually. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
5. Shape the rolls
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls. Place on a lined baking tray.
6. Second rise
Cover and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes.
7. Egg wash
Brush the tops with the egg-milk mixture for a golden finish.
8. Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
Tips for Perfect Brioche Rolls ✨
- Use room-temperature eggs and butter.
- Knead well so the dough becomes soft and stretchy.
- Don’t add too much flour; brioche dough should be slightly sticky.
