MILK BRIOCHE ROLLS

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough
    • In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
    • Add the warm milk and eggs, mixing until the dough comes together.
  2. Knead the dough
    • Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic (by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook).
    • Gradually add the softened butter, a few cubes at a time, kneading well after each addition.
  3. First rise
    • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the rolls
    • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
    • Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Second rise
    • Cover and let rise again for 45–60 minutes, until puffy.
  6. Egg wash and bake
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp water and brush over the rolls for a shiny golden finish.
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve
    • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Perfect with butter, jam, or just plain!

Tips:

  • For extra soft rolls, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • You can add a little vanilla or orange zest for a sweet aroma.
  • Keep the rolls in an airtight container—best eaten fresh, but they freeze beautifully.

If you want, I can also give you a super-easy 10-minute prep version of milk brioche rolls that rises quickly and still comes out soft and fluffy.
