Classic French Braided Brioche (With Poolish)

Brioche is one of the most fluffiest and induldgent breads you can make. Its one of my favourite breads to eat and makes anyone who eats it feeling really happy. I don’t know how the French Bakers were able to put so much butter in a bread dough but what an amazing invention :) I hope you enjoy making this recipe and feel free to comment and ask me any questions.
