Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Dough
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk lukewarm (~110°F / 43°C)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)
  • 9×13 Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Warm milk until lukewarm. Stir in sugar and yeast; let sit 5–7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until sticky dough forms.
  3. Gradually add softened butter while mixing. Add remaining flour as needed and knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls and place in a greased baking dish.
  6. Cover and let rolls rise 30 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls 18–22 minutes until golden. Brush warm rolls with melted butter.

Notes

If your dough is sticky (normal for brioche), resist adding too much flour. For richer flavor, use the oven light to keep a warm rise environment. Rolls can be made ahead, shaped, refrigerated, and baked fresh the next day.
