MILK BRIOCHE ROLLS
Soft, buttery, fluffy, golden rolls that melt in your mouth.
✨ INTRODUCTION
Milk Brioche Rolls are one of the softest, most luxurious breads you can make at home. With their delicate sweetness, pillowy interior, and rich buttery aroma, these rolls feel like something fresh from a French bakery.
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, holidays, dinner rolls, or simply enjoying warm with butter—these brioche rolls are comforting, elegant, and unforgettable.
📜 HISTORY
Brioche originated in France in the 1400s and is known as a “viennoiserie,” a pastry-like bread enriched with eggs, butter, milk, and sugar. Traditionally, it was considered a celebratory bread—served at weddings, Easter feasts, and special family gatherings.
Over time, home bakers began making simpler versions, including Milk Brioche, which uses warm milk to give the dough a silky texture and tender crumb. Today, brioche is beloved across the world for its sweetness, richness, and unmatched softness.
