For the dough:

• 33g sugar

preparation
➊ For the pre-dough, heat the milk and dissolve the yeast in it. Add the flour and mix everything well. Leave the pre-dough to rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
➋ Then knead the pre-dough with the dough ingredients except the butter in the food processor for 5 minutes on the first setting to form a dough. Then knead on the medium setting for another 5 minutes, adding the butter in small pieces.
➌ Knead until all the butter has been completely mixed with the dough. Then wrap the dough tightly in cling film and place in the fridge for 24 hours.
➍ On the day of baking, take the dough out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature for 1 hour. Then divide the dough into 60 g pieces and roll into balls. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 2–2 ½ hours.
➎ Prepare the grill for indirect grilling and heat to 175 °C. Beat the egg and brush the brioches with it, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the brioches for about 12-15 minutes.
