In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Add in the frothy yeast mixture and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.

If using store-bought croissant dough, unroll it into a similar rectangle.

Sprinkle optional fillings like chocolate chips or almond paste before rolling it tightly from one end to the other.

Transfer the rolled dough to a greased loaf pan, seam side down. Cover it again and let it rest for about 30 minutes while your oven preheats to 350°F.

Bake your beautiful loaf in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm with some jam or butter.
