In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
With the mixer running on medium speed, add the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated. The dough will be very soft and sticky.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Take each portion and divide it again into 2/3 and 1/3.
Shape the larger portion into a ball and place it in a greased muffin tin. Shape the smaller portion into a ball and place it on top of the larger ball, pressing down slightly to secure.
Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the brioche with egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
