Ingredients
1 lb all-purpose flour

5 fl oz milk

2.5 oz melted unsalted butter

1 ounce granulated sugar

¼ oz vanilla sugar

½ oz fresh yeast

1 egg

1/3 oz salt

1 egg yolk to glaze

1 handful pink pralines, coarsely chopped

Method
Stir yeast in tepid milk.
In a large mixing bowl, assemble flour, sugars and salt. Make a well, and add egg, melted butter and little, by little, the yeast/milk mixture.
Knead until you obtain a smooth dough.
Arrange the dough ball in a bowl, cover with kitchen towel and let rise for at least two hours (3 is even better).
Knead again to remove air from the dough. On a floured working board, divide dough into three equal loaves and braid them together.
Arrange braided brioche on a pastry sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise an additional hour.
Preheat oven 340°F.
Glaze brioche with egg yolk, decorate with pink pralines and bake for 25 minutes.
