A milk brioche is a rich, tender, and slightly sweet bread that’s perfect for enjoying as a breakfast treat or as a base for delicious sandwiches. Here’s how you can make a delightful milk brioche at home:

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 45°C)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:

Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the Butter:
Gradually add the softened butter to the dough, kneading until it’s fully incorporated and the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
