Description
Milk Brioche Rolls are tender, slightly sweet bread rolls with a buttery crumb and golden top. Made with eggs and warm milk, they’re perfect for breakfast, dinner, or as a snack all on their own. Light yet indulgent, these rolls melt in your mouth with every bite.
Ingredients & Quantities
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add eggs and softened butter to the yeast mixture and mix well.
Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide into equal portions. Shape into rolls.
Arrange rolls on a lined baking tray, cover, and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush warm rolls with butter if desired and let cool slightly before serving.
Origin and Cultural Significance
Brioche originated in France and is known for its rich, egg-based dough. Over time, variations like milk brioche rolls became popular worldwide for their soft texture and versatility, often served during family meals, holidays, and special gatherings.
Optional Additions

Tips for Success
Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast
Use room-temperature eggs for better dough texture
Knead well to achieve soft, fluffy rolls
Don’t rush the rising time—this is key to light rolls
