INGREDIENTS FOR BRIOCHE DINNER ROLLS

  • 4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast [¼ oz Package of Active Yeast ]
  • 1 cup Milk, divided
  • ⅓ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon oil, for greasing
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted (optional)

Instructions
 

PREPARE DOUGH USING STAND MIXER

  • Attach dough hook attachment to the stand mixer. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir in yeast, ½ cup of warm milk [100*F – 110* F], 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, or until it turns frothy, and doubles in volume.
    Note: If the yeast is active, the mixture turns frothy, and doubles in volume. If the mixture does not double in size, start the process again with fresh yeast.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, warm [100*F – 110*F] ½ cup of milk and butter, or until the butter just melts.
    Note: The temperature of the mixture should be lukewarm [100*F – 110*F].
  • To the yeast mixture, add melted butter, egg yolks, flour, sugar, and salt. Beat the mixture on a low speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the flour is combined. Scrape the bowl occasionally.
  • Increase the speed to medium high, and knead the dough for 4-5 minutes, or until it forms into a smooth dough ball, and starts to leave the sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough, onto a lightly greased work surface, and shape it into a ball.
  • PREPARE DOUGH BY HAND
    Knead the dough until it is very soft, and elastic, around 20-25 minutes. Follow rest of the recipe as discussed.

FIRST PROOFING

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn it once to grease the top.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel, and place it in a warm place, or in an oven with the oven light on for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in volume.
    Note: Keep the oven turned OFF.

FIRST PROOFING [USING INSTANT POT]

  • Place the dough in the greased inner pot, and turn it once to grease the top.
  • Place lid, and cover the pot. Turn ON YOGURT (normal) for 1 hour.
    Note: I used a glass lid that fits, to cover the inner pot.

DIVIDE AND SHAPE THE BRIOCHE DINNER ROLLS

  • Grease a 9*12 inch baking dish with some oil or butter, set it aside.
  • Transfer the dough onto work surface, and punch it down. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Cover the pieces with a clean kitchen towel, while you work with a single piece.
    Note: You can use a kitchen scale to precisely divide the dough into equal pieces.
  • Take a piece of dough ball, gather all the edges, and tuck them in the center. Turn the dough, seam side down, and roll it into a smooth ball.
    Note: If required, sprinkle some flour on the work surface.
  • Place the rolled dough ball, seam side down, onto a baking dish. Cover with a clean kitchen towel while you roll the rest of the rolls.

SECOND PROOFING

  • Cover the baking dish with kitchen towel, and place it in a warm place or in an oven with the oven light ON for 45-60 minutes, or until the rolls have almost doubled in size.

BAKE THE BRIOCHE DINNER ROLLS

  • Preheat the oven at 375*F. Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Rotate the baking dish halfway through for even baking.
    Note: Place the baking dish on the lowest rack, to prevent the top from browning too fast. If the top of the rolls is browning quickly, loosely place a foil tent over the rolls.
  • Apply some melted butter on top, and enjoy warm, fluffy, buttery Brioche dinner rolls!!
