Activate the yeast by mixing it with lukewarm water and brown sugar, then set aside until frothy, about 8-10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and brown sugar.

Add the activated yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, and melted butter to the flour mixture.

Mix the dough until soft, then transfer to a bowl coated with olive oil and cover tightly with plastic wrap.

Let the dough rest for at least 1 hour in a warm place.

After resting, knead the dough for a few minutes and divide it into two pieces.

Roll one piece into a loaf shape and place it in a greased loaf pan to rest for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Divide the other piece into three equal parts and roll each into long ropes for braiding.

Braid the three ropes together and place the braided dough in a greased baking dish, sealing the ends.

Cover and let the braided dough rest again for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake both the loaf and braided bread for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
