Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions to form rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
- Allow the Milk Brioche Rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the irresistible combination of soft, sweet, and buttery goodness!
Tips and Quick Process
- Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to make the kneading process easier and faster.
- Experiment with different fillings such as cinnamon sugar or chocolate chips for a variation.
- To save time, you can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it to room temperature before shaping and baking the rolls.
- Serve these rolls with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of your favorite fruit preserves for an extra special touch.
