by

Milk Brioche Rolls are the epitome of soft, buttery, and slightly sweet bread that melts in your mouth. These rolls are made with a rich dough that incorporates milk, giving them an extra tender texture. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favorite dishes, these milk brioche rolls are incredibly versatile and sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. Whether you’re enjoying them fresh out of the oven or using them for sandwiches, their delicate, slightly sweet flavor will elevate any meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: Extra butter for brushing

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Add the softened butter to the dough and knead it for 8-10 minutes, either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Place the shaped dough balls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure they are snug but not overcrowded. Cover the dish with a towel and let the dough rise for another 45 minutes to an hour, until they are puffy and almost touching.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over the top of each dough ball.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. For an added touch of flavor, brush with melted butter right after baking.

These Milk Brioche Rolls are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the oven, and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They also freeze well, so you can make them ahead of time and reheat them whenever you’re ready to enjoy a soft, buttery treat. Their delightful texture and subtle sweetness make them a favorite in any household!
