1. Activate the Yeast
Begin by combining the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is frothy and alive. This is your moment of awakening—proof that life is blooming in your bowl.
2. Build the Dough
Stir in the oil, vinegar, salt, and eggs. Slowly add the flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead for 10–15 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. This part is all about feel. Trust your hands.
3. Embrace the Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rest in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. This is the dough’s time to grow, to breathe, to become.
4. Shape and Prove Again
Punch down the dough gently, then divide and shape it into loaves or rolls. Place in greased pans, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes. The final puff brings it to life.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the smell is utterly irresistible. Brush with a little butter right out of the oven for that glossy, bakery-finish.
A Slice of Joy
When you tear into the first loaf—still warm, the crust gently crackling under your fingers—the aroma that escapes is almost overwhelming. That first bite is soft and rich, subtly sweet, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes you close your eyes and just feel the warmth of home. Serve it with a swipe of jam, a curl of salted butter, or simply on its own. However you enjoy it, this Milk Brioche is more than bread—it’s a moment. A memory. A handmade act of love.
