Ingredients

For the Dough:

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 packet 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
½ tsp salt
¾ cup warm whole milk
¼ cup strong brewed espresso
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter softened

For the Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp brewed espresso
1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Activate the Yeast – Mix warm milk, espresso, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy. If nothing happens, start over—yeast likes attention.
Make the Dough – Combine flour and salt. Add eggs and the yeast mixture. Knead in butter until the dough is smooth.
Let It Rise – Cover and let the dough rest for 1.5 hours. Yes, waiting is painful.
Shape & Proof – Divide into 12 pieces, shape into balls, and place them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise again for 45 minutes.
Bake to Perfection – Brush with milk, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, until golden and puffy.
Glaze & Serve – Whisk powdered sugar, espresso, and milk. Drizzle over warm rolls and enjoy immediately.

Pro Tips for Better Rolls

Use room temperature ingredients for the softest dough.
Let the dough rise fully—impatience leads to dense bread.
Don’t overbake—light golden brown is the sweet spot.
Eat warm—because waiting makes no sense.

Now go bake these latte-infused brioche rolls and accept that you’ll never eat regular bread again.
