Tips for Success:

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for smooth incorporation.
Proper Kneading: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes with a stand mixer.
First Rise: Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size for a light texture.
Chill Overnight (Optional): Chilling the dough overnight enhances flavor and makes it easier to handle.
Egg Wash: Brush with an egg wash before baking to achieve the signature golden crust.

Instructions:

Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk and eggs, mixing until a dough forms.
Incorporate Butter: Gradually add the butter, one piece at a time, kneading until fully incorporated.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Second Rise: Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Egg Wash: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the dough with an egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water).
Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool: Let cool before slicing and serving.
