๐—œ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€:

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour ๐Ÿž
1/4 cup granulated sugar ๐Ÿฌ
2 teaspoons instant yeast ๐Ÿง‚
1/2 teaspoon salt ๐Ÿง‚

1. Prepare the dough ๐Ÿž: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour ๐Ÿž, sugar ๐Ÿฌ, yeast ๐Ÿง‚, and salt ๐Ÿง‚. Make a well in the center and add the warm milk ๐Ÿฅ›, eggs ๐Ÿฅš, and vanilla extract ๐Ÿฆ. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

2. Incorporate the butter ๐Ÿงˆ: Gradually add the softened butter ๐Ÿงˆ to the dough, kneading it in with your hands or a dough hook on a stand mixer until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Let it rise ๐Ÿž: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

4. Shape the brioche ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into small round rolls or place it into a greased loaf pan, depending on your preference.

5. Second rise โณ: Cover the shaped dough again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, until it has puffed up.

6. Egg wash ๐Ÿฅš: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk ๐Ÿฅš and milk ๐Ÿฅ› for the egg wash. Brush the top of the brioche with the egg wash to give it a beautiful golden finish.

7. Bake the brioche ๐Ÿ”ฅ: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve and enjoy ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ: Slice the Milk Brioche and serve with butter or jam. This soft, buttery bread is perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon treat! ๐Ÿ˜‹
