Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour, divided
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup water (120-130°F)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • Egg wash: 1 egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon milk (beaten together)

Instructions

  • In stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add warm water and butter to flour mixture, blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Add eggs, mixing after adding each one until combined; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining flour to make a very soft dough.
    (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk.)
  • Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and foil; refrigerate 6 to 12 hours.
  • Prepare pan: Grease muffin cups or individual brioche pans; set aside.
  • Punch down dough. Divide into 3 equal parts. Cover and refrigerate two of dough parts until ready to shape. Divide one part into 6 equal pieces. Cut off one-fourth of the dough from each piece. On clean surface, shape each large and small piece into a smooth ball. Place large balls into greased muffin pan cups or individual brioche pans. Press ball to fill cup; make a deep indentation in the center of dough. Press small ball into indentation. Repeat with remaining 2 dough parts.
  • Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Gently brush tops of rolls with egg wash. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from muffin pan cups; cool on wire rack.
