                                        🥖 Milk Brioche Rolls
Ingredients
 • 4 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
 • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 🍬
 • 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
 • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
 • 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
 • 2/3 cup whole milk, warmed 🥛
 • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
 • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened 🧈
 • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
 • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water with a pinch of sugar.
 • Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough
 • In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl), whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
 • Add the foamy yeast mixture, warm milk, and eggs.
 • Mix until a sticky dough forms.
3. Add Butter
 • Gradually add the softened butter, a little at a time, kneading until fully incorporated.
 • Knead the dough (by hand ~10 minutes, or stand mixer with dough hook ~7 minutes) until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
4. First Rise
 • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
5. Shape the Rolls
 • Punch down the dough and divide into 12–15 equal pieces.
 • Shape into smooth balls or small log shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking pan.
6. Second Rise
 • Cover loosely with a towel and let rise again for 45–60 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake
 • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
 • Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
 • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
8. Cool & Serve
 • Let cool slightly before serving.
 • Best enjoyed warm with butter, jam, or honey. 🍯
✨ Tip: For extra soft rolls, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.
