In a small bowl, combine warm whole milk and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Sprinkle in yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well, add beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and frothy yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down dough, turn out onto a floured surface, divide into three equal portions, and braid into a loaf.

Cover the shaped loaf with a towel and let rise until puffed, about 30-60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Test doneness with a toothpick.

Once baked, cool on a wire rack and prepare glaze.

Drizzle glaze over cooled bread and add sprinkles.
