BRIOCHE 
1/4 c. warm milk or water
1 or 2 pkgs. yeast
3 tbsp. sugar
7 eggs or 6 egg yolks and 4 whole eggs
4 c. flour
1 1/2 c. soft butter
2 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in milk or water along with the sugar. Add 7 eggs, (or the egg yolks), stir well to blend. Add 2 cups of flour, blend, and beat well. Use heavy duty mixer, very important because the dough is too soft to knead. Beat well before and after. Add the butter and beat well. Then add 2 cups of flour and beat until the dough is elastic. Use a ceramic bowl, cover the dough and let it rise until double. Punch the dough down and let it rise in the refrigerator. This will take 12 hours. Shape dough into a loaf or muffins (optional). Let rise until double. Bake rolls in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, large loaves at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
