Having ventured into croissants, brioche and enriched breads, I thought it was time to make some pain au lait (or milk bread). This isn't as rich as brioche, but it has its place, mostly for breakfast or with tea. I found it on an awesome French web site.

It's great for molding or studding with raisins, or maybe a good vehicle for making schnecken or sticky buns, which I'll have to try soon!
