1. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the milk and stir in the yeast and one tablespoon of sugar. Leave it to sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add to it the remaining sugar, eggs, flour and salt. Turn the mixer on low and combine until it forms a thick but slightly sticky dough. Mix this dough for around 5 minutes to begin developing the gluten.
2. Add in the butter, a cube or two at a time, ensuring each cube has been incorporated before the next addition.Turn the mixer on medium and keep it mixing until the sticky dough starts to strengthen and come together and pull away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
3. For the best gluten development and brioche crumb, keep the dough mixing for at least 15 minutes. Proper gluten development will allow you to stretch the dough so thin you can almost see through it. This is called the 'window pane' effect.
4. Pull the dough out of the bowl onto a bench and form it into a ball. Place the dough ball into a clean bowl and cover it with a lid or plate, or a damp tea towel and let it proof for 1.5-2 hours (depending on room temperature) until doubled in size. Deflate the dough gently, and reshape it into a ball again. Cover it lid or plate, or a damp tea towel and place it in the fridge overnight. This step can be shortened, but an 8-12 hour fridge proof gives the best flavor.Cold ProofIf you want to skip the overnight proof, the dough will still need a couple of hours fridge rest after room temperature proofing. This cold rest will let the butter stiffen up and result in much easier shaping.
