Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120g) warm whole milk (110°F/43°C to 115°F/46°C)
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
  • 3 tablespoons (36g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 1/4 cups (406g) all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 teaspoons (6g) kosher salt (see note)
  • 3 large (105g) eggs, room temperature and divided
  • 7 tablespoons (98g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) water

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon (4 grams) sugar. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2¾ cups (344 grams) flour, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (32 grams) sugar. Add yeast mixture and 2 large eggs (100 grams); using the paddle attachment, beat at low speed until a shaggy dough forms, stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
  • Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until smooth and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes; add up to remaining ½ cup (62 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. Add butter, 1 tablespoon (14 grams) at a time, beating until combined after each addition (8 to 9 minutes total). Beat until a smooth and elastic dough forms, 9 to 10 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a smooth round.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Punch down dough, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 8 portions (85 to 90 grams each). Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place in prepared pan in 2 rows of 4. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until almost doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water and remaining 1 egg (50 grams). Brush top of loaf with egg wash.
  • Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 28 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
