Milk Brioche Rolls

Gather the following ingredients for your milk brioche rolls:

500 ml of milk
250 g of all-purpose flour
100 g of sugar
2 teaspoons of dry active yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 large eggs
100 g of unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Follow these steps to achieve perfect milk brioche rolls:

Step 1: In a small bowl, dissolve the dry active yeast in warm milk (about 110°F) with a pinch of sugar for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together.
Step 3: Create a well in the center, then add the frothy yeast mixture, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Step 5: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 6: Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
Step 7: Arrange the dough balls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Step 8: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9: Brush the top of the rolls with an egg wash (beaten egg with a bit of water) for a golden finish.
Step 10: Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
Step 11: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

5 FAQ Pairs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute some or all the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour; however, the rolls may be denser and have a nuttier flavor.

Store the rolls in an airtight container for up to three days at room temperature or freeze them for up to three months.

3. Can I add any fillings to the dough?
