Sure, here’s a recipe for Milk Brioche Rolls:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: pearl sugar or sesame seeds for topping
Instructions:
- Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for this step.
- Incorporate Butter: Gradually add softened butter to the dough, a few tablespoons at a time, kneading well after each addition. Continue kneading until all the butter is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and shiny.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Egg Wash: Once the rolls have doubled in size, brush the tops gently with beaten egg. Optionally, sprinkle pearl sugar or sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked Milk Brioche Rolls! They’re perfect for breakfast or as a snack any time of the day.
