Are you craving the taste of a perfectly shaped, fluffy, and buttery brioche roll? Look no further because we have got you covered! In this guide, we will take you through the step-by-step process of rolling brioche so you can achieve bakery-quality results right in your own kitchen. Let’s get started!

What is brioche?

Brioche is a classic French bread that is rich in flavor and has a soft, buttery texture. It is made with a high butter and egg content, giving it a distinct taste and a golden color. Brioche can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for sandwiches, French toast, or bread pudding.

What tools will you need?

Before we begin, gather the following tools:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Stand mixer with a dough hook attachment (optional)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Bench scraper or sharp knife

Ingredients

To roll brioche, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps to roll brioche perfectly:

Step 1: Prepare the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten eggs. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 2: Knead the dough

If you have a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, knead the dough on low speed for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If not, knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for the same amount of time.

Step 3: Incorporate the butter

Add the softened butter to the dough, piece by piece, while continuing to knead. Make sure each piece is fully incorporated before adding the next. This process may take some time, but be patient and keep kneading until the dough is smooth, shiny, and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl or your hands.

Step 4: Let the dough rise

Transfer the dough to a clean, greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the brioche rolls

Gently punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the desired size of your brioche rolls. Shape each portion into a ball or any other desired shape by tucking the edges underneath.

Step 6: Final rise and baking

Place the shaped brioche rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cover them loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until they have puffed up slightly.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Congratulations! With this guide, you now know how to roll brioche like a pro. Remember to be patient during the process and enjoy the heavenly aroma that will fill your kitchen. Whether you serve your brioche rolls plain, with jam, or as the star ingredient of a sandwich, they are sure to impress anyone lucky enough to try them. Happy baking!
