Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture along with eggs, butter, and vanilla.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth; let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and divide into portions for the main bun and the top 'tuppo'.

Shape the larger portion into a ball and place it on a baking sheet.

Shape the smaller portion into a smaller ball and place it on top of the larger one.

Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30-60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Brush the brioche with an egg wash for shine.

Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
