Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and let it soften at room temperature.
In the bowl of the bread machine, add the ingredients in the following order: whole milk, softened butter, eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Close the lid of the bread machine and select the Dough cycle. This will usually take 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the Dough cycle is complete, check the dough; it should be smooth, soft, and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet, sprinkle in an extra tablespoon of flour and knead again. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
Remove the dough from the machine and place it on a floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf or divide and shape into smaller rolls, as desired.
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or on a lined baking sheet for rolls. Cover lightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the brioche with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk) to give it a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes (for a loaf) or 15–20 minutes (for rolls) until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 88°C (190°F).
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
