In a small bowl, mix warm milk with active dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Creating a well in the center, add the melted butter, eggs, and frothy yeast mixture.

Gently stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

After rising, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into three equal portions, roll each into a long strand, and braid them together. Pinch the ends to seal.

Place the braided loaf on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. If you like, glaze with icing and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for added flair!
