Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
• Add sugar, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
• Gradually add flour, mixing until dough begins to form.
• Add softened butter in pieces, kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1.5 hours.
• Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan.
• Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes until doubled.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top of the loaf with egg wash.
• Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack before slicing.
