Description
Lemon Lavender Brioche Rolls are a type of sweet, soft, and aromatic roll made from rich brioche dough, filled with a fragrant lemon-lavender sugar mixture, and often topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting. These rolls are different from traditional cinnamon rolls or other yeast-based rolls due to their unique filling, which blends the bright zestiness of lemon with the floral, herby notes of lavender. The dough itself is made with ingredients like butter, sugar, milk, and eggs, which contribute to its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 3–3¼ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt.
- Add 3 cups flour and mix with a wooden spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Add more flour (1 tbsp at a time) until dough is no longer sticky.
- Knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Notes
These fragrant brioche rolls are perfect for a spring brunch, afternoon tea, or as a delicate dessert. You can serve them warm with a drizzle of honey, a dusting of powdered sugar, or even a light lemon glaze for extra brightness. For a cozy twist, pair them with a cup of Earl Grey or chamomile tea to enhance the floral notes.
