### 👩‍🍳 How to Make It

#### 1. **Prepare the Brioche Dough**

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add eggs and warm milk. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5–8 minutes, then gradually add softened butter and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1–1.5 hours).

#### 2. **Shape the Tart**

Punch down the dough and roll or press it into a tart pan or round cake pan (about 9–10 inches). Let it rest for 20–30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

#### 3. **Add the Topping**

Dimple the dough gently with your fingers. Sprinkle the top generously with sugar and dot with butter cubes. Drizzle cream over the top.

#### 4. **Bake**

Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. The sugar should be lightly caramelized and the edges puffed and golden.

#### 5. **Cool and Serve**

Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
