Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp instant yeast
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp poppy seeds
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
2. Add the warm milk, melted butter, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough to remove excess air and shape it into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes until it has expanded.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
7. Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until it is golden brown.
8. Remove the brioche from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
