An indulgent morning treat, or a comforting dessert, this bake is seriously easy to bring together and so fun to make!
Milk- The milk in this recipe is the kickstarter for the eventual rise of the yeast and the general makeup for the fluffiness that a cinnamon roll provides. You're going to want your milk warmed about 100-110 degrees for the yeast to bloom properly with the sugar.
Eggs- The eggs in this recipe need to come to room temperature. As a general rule you don't want to put anything ice cold in a dough that will eventually be baked.
Flour & Butter- For both of these ingredients I find a weight scale is immensely helpful, a lot of the time I find it difficult to ensure that a ough is properly hydrated just by cup measurement alone. Factors such as milk, butter, and eggs all contribute to the hydration in said dough so having an exact measurement on the amount of flour you're using really helps! Same goes for the butter in this recipe which shows up both for the brioche dough and for the filling and they are crucial for that buttery taste, make sure you can get the best quality you can find.
Butter- The butter in this recipe is being browned to bring out all those nutty caramel flavors. The secret to making effective browned butter is knowing when to stop, which is as soon as you see all the little specks of brown fat in the liquid. Even if your color isn't the brown you imagined it to be, it's okay, the color continues to brown even off heat.
Pillowy, soft, brioche glazed in brown butter, brown and cinnamon sugar, and doused in an espresso caramelized white chocolate glaze, will be unforgettable.
