Ingredients
Scale
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 60g sugar
- 10g salt
- 10g instant yeast
- 5 large eggs
- 250ml whole milk
- 200g unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs and whole milk, stirring gently to form a sticky dough.
- Gradually incorporate the softened butter until the dough becomes smooth.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise for another hour until puffed up.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough rises.

Notes
For added variety, consider mixing in chocolate chips or dried fruit. To make-ahead, refrigerate the dough overnight after the first rise.
