Brioche with Sugar Recipe

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup warm milk
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together 2 of the eggs and the warm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and whisk in. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Cut the butter into 1/2-inch pieces. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Add the butter to the dough, a few pieces at a time, kneading well after each addition. When the dough is smooth and shiny, cover it with a clean, damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg mixture over the tops of the brioche balls. Sprinkle with extra granulated sugar.
Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
