Ingredients
  

Brioche Dough
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
Salted Maple Butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Dish
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, warm water, and eggs.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Add the softened butter gradually, kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball.
  7. Arrange the dough balls in a parchment-lined baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 45–60 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake the rolls for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the salted maple butter by mixing the softened butter with maple syrup and flaky salt until creamy.
  11. Serve the warm brioche rolls with generous swirls of salted maple butter.

Notes

For extra shine, brush the rolls with a beaten egg before baking.
