Ultra-soft, fluffy, and buttery—perfect for any time of day
Milk Brioche Rolls are pillowy-soft rolls with a delicate sweetness and rich, tender crumb. Made with milk, eggs, and butter, they’re luxurious yet approachable—ideal for breakfast with jam, dinner rolls, or sliders. Once baked, they’re golden on the outside and cloud-like inside.
Why You’ll Love These Rolls
- Incredibly soft thanks to milk and butter
- Lightly sweet (great for sweet or savory)
- Versatile: breakfast, sandwiches, or dinner
- Freezer-friendly and make-ahead ready
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, very soft
- Extra butter or milk for brushing
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Add the Butter
Knead in the soft butter gradually. Knead 8–10 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky.
3. First Rise
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours, until doubled.
4. Shape the Rolls
Divide dough into equal pieces (10–12). Roll into smooth balls and place in a greased baking dish, slightly touching.
5. Second Rise
Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes, until puffy.
6. Bake
Brush tops lightly with milk or butter.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes, until golden.
7. Finish
Brush with melted butter right out of the oven. Cool slightly and serve warm.
Pro Tips for Perfect Brioche

Easy Variations
- Sweet rolls: Add vanilla or orange zest
- Savory: Mix in cheese or herbs
- Slider buns: Shape smaller and bake 15–18 min
- Chocolate chip: Fold in mini chips before shaping
