   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/3           cup  whole milk -- warm, (80F to 100F)
   3        tablespoons  granulated sugar -- (36 g)
   1         tablespoon  active dry yeast -- (9 g)
   3 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- divided, (406 g)
   5              large  eggs -- room temperature
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt -- (3 g)
   1                cup  unsalted butter -- softened, (227 g)

At its heart, brioche is the gorgeous love child of a pastry chef and 
a bread baker. Think of it as part bread-part cake that combines the 
backbone of a dessert maven's repertoire (milk, eggs, sugar, and 
butter) with the rich yeast of the boulangerie.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 
combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add 1 
1/2 cups (188 g) flour and eggs, and beat at medium-low speed until 
smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove paddle, and cover; let stand for 30 to 
45 minutes. At the end of this initial fermentation process, there 
should be small bubbles forming around the edges of the mixture.

Replace paddle attachment with the dough hook. Add remaining 1 3/4 
cups (218 g) flour and salt. Knead at medium speed until dough pulls 
away from sides of the bowl and is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.

With mixer running at medium speed, add butter, 1 tablespoon (14 g) 
at a time, letting each piece incorporate before adding the next. 
Spray a large bowl with baking spray with flour. Place dough in bowl, 
turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F) until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough and fold a few times to 
knock out a bit of air. Return dough to greased bowl; cover and 
refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight (up to 16 hours).
