Let’s start preparing the brioche: combine the yeast, flour, and sugar in a bowl, then pour in the lukewarm milk, egg, and vegetable oil gradually, and start kneading, with a mixer or by hand.
Knead well until the mixture is well combined and soft, transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 2 hours approximately
After the rising time, take the dough, deflate it with your hands, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 9-10 equal balls. Divide each ball into 2 equal parts and form ropes about 8-10 inches long
Now braid two ropes together and close the ends to form a crown. Place the brioche not too close on the baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Brush the brioche with beaten egg mixed with a little milk, cover with colorful sprinkles. Bake the brioche in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until golden brown, and once out of the oven, let them cool on a rack.
And happy Easter!!
