1. Check the yeast: (see footnotes if you'd like to make this dough in the breadmaker)Dissolve 2 tsp of active dried yeast with 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp of sugar from the overall amount and leave in a warm location until frothy, about 10-15 minutes. If the mixture does not froth up and rise, discard the yeast and start over when you have a fresh batch of dried yeast.
2. Knead: Into a bowl of a mixer sift 3 cups of flour. Then add 1/3 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 cup warm milk, 4 egg yolks, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp vanilla extract and the risen yeast mixture. Mix with a paddle attachment on low speed until it comes together, then switch to a kneading hook and knead on low speed (speed 2 to 3 on a Kitchenaid mixder) for about 20 minutes or until the dough is elastic, tacky to touch and you're able to stretch a piece of dough into a thin "window without it tearing. Pro tip: Do not overknead, or the gluten strands will get overworked and tear, leaving you with a chunky dough that doesn't have the strength to hold a good rise of the dough.[br][/br]Add 3 oz of butter and 1/4 tsp of the salt and knead it into the bread until no streaks of butter are seen, (~5-7 minutes). Sometimes tearing the dough into chunks helps to incorporate the butter easier/faster.
3. 1st Proofing: Oil the sides of the bowl and the dough, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place to proof until doubled in size, about 1.5 hours. I preheat the oven at 200F for 2-3 minutes then turn it off and place the bowl into the oven with the heat off. This gives the dough a nice warm place without being too hot. Be careful not to overheat the oven as anything over the temp of 100F will kill the yeast instead of allowing it to proof.
4. Shape: This recipe makes one large braid. To make two smaller bread loaves divide the dough into two, then shape 2 separate braids instead of one like the recipe instructs to. Once risen, divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Weighing the dough is the best way to divide the dough evenly. Roll each piece into a tight ball, then into a 20-inch log. Pinch the ends of the 3 logs together at one end, then braid them into a braid pinching the three ends together at the end as well. Tuck both ends of the braid underneath itself slightly to give it a better shape.

1. Combine milk and water in a heatproof bowl and heat in 30-second increments until mixture reaches a temperature between 105-115F (40-46C). Always stir before temping!
2. Pour milk mixture into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and stir in yeast and one teaspoon granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes or until a foam cap has formed on the surface (if mixture does not foam you will need to start over).
3. Once foamy, add remaining ⅓ cup sugar, melted butter, egg and egg yolk, salt, and 2 cups (250g) of flour and stir well to combine.
4. Gradually add additional flour while stirring (if using a stand mixer use a dough hook on low-speed) until dough clings to itself and forms a ball that is pulling away from the sides of the bowl (scrape bowl as needed). You may not use all of the flour indicated, or you may even need more, go by texture (and see the video if you need visual clues)! When ready, the dough should be slightly tacky to the touch but not so sticky that it cant be managed with your bare hands.
