🥖 Milk Brioche Rolls Recipe
🧈 Ingredients
-
500 g all-purpose or bread flour
-
7 g instant yeast (or 20 g fresh yeast)
-
60 g sugar
-
1 tsp salt
-
2 eggs
-
200 ml warm milk
-
100 g unsalted butter, softened (plus more for brushing)
-
1 egg (for egg wash)
-
Optional: pearl sugar or sesame seeds for topping
🥣 Instructions
1. Prepare the dough
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast (place salt and yeast on opposite sides before mixing).
-
Add the eggs and warm milk. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
-
Gradually add the softened butter, kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic (about 10–15 minutes by hand or 8–10 minutes with a stand mixer).
-
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Shape the rolls
-
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air.
-
Divide into 10–12 equal portions and shape into rolls.
-
Place them in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish or on a tray, slightly spaced.
-
Cover and let rise again for 45–60 minutes until puffy.
3. Bake
-
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Brush the rolls with egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of milk).
-
Sprinkle with toppings if desired.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
4. Finish
-
Brush the tops with melted butter while still warm for a shiny, soft finish.
🍞 Tips
-
For extra softness, add 1–2 tbsp milk powder to the dough.
-
These rolls freeze well – just warm in the oven before serving.
