Here’s a delightful recipe for Milk Brioche Rolls! These soft, buttery rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F/43°C)
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the warmed milk and eggs. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Add the softened butter pieces to the dough. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. The internal temperature should reach about 190°F (88°C).
- Cool: Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the dough.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days or frozen for longer storage.
