Honey Butter Brioche Rolls 

These Honey Butter Brioche Rolls are rich, pillowy, and slightly sweet—perfect for any holiday table or cozy family dinner. Made with a soft brioche dough enriched with eggs and butter, they’re brushed generously with a honey-butter glaze that adds a beautiful shine and subtle sweetness. Whether you’re serving them with a warm soup, a festive roast, or enjoying them with a pat of butter fresh from the oven, these rolls are irresistibly fluffy and flavorful. They're surprisingly simple to make, especially with a stand mixer, and can be prepped ahead to save time on busy days.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  
  

• 1 tablespoon honey
  
  

• 3 large eggs
  
  

• 3 1/2 – 4 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  
  

For the Honey Butter:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 3 tablespoons honey
  
  

• Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
   
   

2. Add eggs, 3 1/2 cups flour, and salt. Mix using the dough hook until a soft dough forms.
   
   

3. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Continue mixing for 5–8 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
   
   

4. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.
   
   

5. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls and place in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
   
   

6. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   
   

7. Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
   
   

8. Mix melted butter with honey, then brush over warm rolls. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Serve warm.
