Soft, slightly sweet, and buttery — this quick milk brioche comes together fast (no long kneading!) and bakes up beautifully fluffy.

⏱ Prep time: 10 minutes
⏲ Rise time: 45–60 minutes
🔥 Bake time: 20–25 minutes

🧾 Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast

• 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)

• 3 tbsp melted butter (or oil)

• 1 egg

For Brushing (Optional):

• 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Dough (5 Minutes)

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
Mix until a soft dough forms.

2️⃣ Quick Knead (5 Minutes)

Knead by hand for about 5 minutes (or 3 minutes with a mixer) until smooth and elastic.
The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add 1–2 tbsp flour if needed.

3️⃣ Rise

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

4️⃣ Shape

Punch down the dough and shape into:

• A loaf (place in greased loaf pan), or

• 8–10 small rolls (place in baking dish)

Let rest 15–20 minutes while oven preheats.

5️⃣ Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush with egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake:

• Rolls: 18–20 minutes

• Loaf: 22–25 minutes

Bake until golden brown.

✨ Tips for Ultra-Soft Brioche

• Use whole milk for richness.
