Salted Sage Honey Butter Brioche Rolls offer a soft, fluffy texture with a warm aroma. Perfect for brunch gatherings and lazy weekend breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • pinch of salt
  • Flaky sea salt or Maldon for finishing

Instructions

  1. Whisk the sugar, salt, and instant yeast into the warm milk. If using active dry yeast, let it bloom for 5–10 minutes until foamy, then proceed.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the beaten egg and melted butter. Drizzle in the yeast-milk mixture slowly, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface or with a mixer until smooth and elastic, about 6–8 minutes by hand or 4–6 with a mixer.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly buttered bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 60–90 minutes.
  5. Lightly punch down the dough, divide it into 12–16 equal pieces, and roll each into a tight ball. Place them in a buttered baking dish or lined sheet pan.
  6. Cover and let rise again until puffy and nearly doubled, about 30–45 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
  8. While the rolls bake, prepare the honey sage butter by melting 3 tablespoons butter and whisking in the honey, chopped sage, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Brush the warm honey sage butter generously on the baked rolls.
  10. Let the rolls rest for 5–10 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky salt and serve warm.
  11. Serve with extra butter, jam, or a creamy cheese spread if desired.

Notes

  • These rolls are best served fresh but reheat well.
  • Great for make-ahead brunch planning or cozy weekend treats.
