Instructions
Brioche Dough
Heat milk to 105 - 110 degrees F. Add yeast and let sit for about 10 minutes, or until yeast has bloomed.
In a large bowl or standing mixer, combine bread flour, salt and sugar. Add the egg, plus additional egg yolk, melted butter, and milk/yeast mixture.
Using dough hook attachment, mix for 8-10 minutes, or until a smooth dough forms that no longer sticks to the side of the bowl. Place in lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 hours.
Mushroom Duxelles Filling
While the brioche rises, make the mushroom filling. Chop mushrooms and shallot finely. Heat butter over medium high heat until melted. Add mushrooms and shallot.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until moisture begins seeping from the vegetables. Add fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Turn to low and let cook slowly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have reduced. Set aside.
Roll Assembly
Once brioche has doubled in size and finished rising, place on lightly floured flat surface. Roll out dough into a rectangle, approximately 14" x 9".
Spread cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the entire rectangle. Then from one end of the 9" side, roll, the dough tightly, like you are making cinnamon rolls.
Cut into 9 pieces, approximately 1" wide. You may need to cut off a 1/2" or so on either end if they are not even, before dividing into 9 pieces.
Place each roll into a lightly greased 8" x 8" pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once rolls have risen, brush tops lightly with melted butter, and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until tops begin to brown.
