Brioche Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Make a well in the center and pour in warm milk. Mix together until a sticky dough forms.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add softened butter and knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into desired brioche shape.

Place the shaped brioche on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Let the brioche rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the tops of the brioche with beaten egg.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
