Ingredients You Will Need
To make soft milk brioche rolls at home you will need the following ingredients. Use fresh ingredients for best taste.
All purpose flour 4 cups

Sugar 4 tablespoons
Salt 1 teaspoon

Large eggs 2 at room temperature
Extra milk 2 tablespoons for brushing
Optional sesame seeds or sugar for topping
Step by Step Method
Making milk brioche rolls is easier than it looks. Follow each step slowly and enjoy the process. There is no need to rush.
Step one activate the yeast
Take a large bowl and add warm milk. The milk should be warm not hot. Add sugar and yeast into the milk. Mix gently with a spoon. Let it sit for about ten minutes. You will see bubbles on top. This means the yeast is active and ready.
Step two mix the dough
Add eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well. Add softened butter and mix again. Now slowly add flour and salt. Mix with a spoon until a sticky dough forms. You can also use a stand mixer if you have one.
Step three knead the dough
Transfer the dough to a clean surface lightly dusted with flour. Knead the dough using your hands for about ten minutes. Push the dough away from you then fold it back. Turn and repeat. The dough should become smooth soft and elastic. If it feels too sticky add a little flour. Do not add too much.
Step four first rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Keep it in a warm place for about one to two hours. The dough should double in size. This step is very important for soft milk brioche rolls.
Step five shape the rolls
Once the dough has risen punch it gently to release air. Divide the dough into equal pieces. You can make twelve or fifteen rolls depending on size. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave space between each roll.
Step six second rise
Cover the shaped rolls loosely and let them rise again for about thirty to forty minutes. They will become puffy and light. This second rise makes the rolls very soft.
Step seven brush and bake
Preheat your oven to one hundred eighty degrees Celsius. Brush the tops of the rolls with extra milk. You can sprinkle sesame seeds or sugar on top if you like. Bake for twenty to twenty five minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Step eight cool and enjoy
Remove the milk brioche rolls from the oven. Let them cool slightly on a rack. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite spread. These rolls are best fresh but stay soft for days.
