πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

Bloom yeast in warm milk with a spoonful of sugar.

Knead with flour, butter, eggs, remaining sugar, and salt until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise until doubled, then shape it into a long braid.

Brush with egg yolk, sprinkle lightly, and bake until deeply golden.

Cool before slicing so the crumb stays even.
