    Brioche dough

    Put the yeast in the bottom of the bowl of the mixer and add the flour, salt and sugar. Add the eggs and milk and knead for 10 minutes on speed 1. Add the butter and knead on speed 2 until the butter is incorporated. Remove the dough from the bowl and wrap in plastic film. Chill for 2 hours.

    Give the dough 2 double turns, letting it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator between each turn.

    Roll out to a thickness of 5 mm and roll the dough up into a log. Cut into 3,5 cm pieces and place in previously greased 65 mm stainless steel moulds. Let rise for 45 minutes at 30°C, then bake at 165°C for 15 minutes.
