For 1 brioche

Ingredients:

• 575 g fine wheat flour
• 25 g fresh yeast 
• 70 g sugar
• 4 eggs  
• 80 ml warm milk
• 200 g semi-salted butter, softened

Preparation:

2. In a large bowl, start by mixing all the liquids: milk, eggs, and softened butter (not melted, to obtain an airy crumb).
3. Add the fine wheat flour, sugar and fresh yeast to the mixture. 
4. Knead in a food processor or by hand until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
5. Let the dough rise in a warm place or in the oven at 30°C, placing a container of water at the bottom of the oven, as the dough needs a little heat and humidity to rise. Allow 2h 30 mins for rising. 
6. Punch down the dough on a floured surface and shape as desired.  
7. Brush with a mixture of beaten egg and milk. 
8. Let it rest under a tea towel for an extra 30 mins.
