Pre-heat oven to 180°C.

Combine lukewarm milk and instant yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour, white sugar, salt, and softened unsalted butter.

Add the egg and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into three equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a long rope, about 12-15 inches in length.

Braid the three ropes together and tuck the ends under to secure.

Place the braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Brush the loaf with egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
