Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups All-purpose or Bread flour
  • 1 cup Whole milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast 1 packet
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Egg for egg wash
  • Optional: Pearl sugar or sesame seeds for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy and active.
  2. Add the eggs and half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then gradually add the remaining flour and salt while continuing to kneed.
  3. Incorporate the softened butter one tablespoon at a time. This is the most important part of making Milk Brioche Rolls; ensure each piece is fully absorbed before adding the next until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Gently punch down the dough and divide it into equal-sized portions. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them in a greased baking pan or loaf tin.
  6. Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F during this final proofing stage.
  7. Brush the tops with a beaten egg wash for that signature golden shine and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until deep golden brown .
