Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm milk and active dry yeast, letting it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt, then add the yeast mixture and eggs.
3. Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth, about 10 minutes.
4. Gradually add softened butter, continuing to knead until fully incorporated and the dough is elastic.
5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in the praline paste until evenly distributed.
7. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a greased baking pan.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for another 30-40 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
